Delays, lots of rope

I ran into another roadblock in the potential sale of the SSR, albeit a small one.  Titles in Florida are exclusively the electronic variety when they are issued.  They only get converted to paper when necessary.  Well liens banks put on titles are also electronic.  When a loan is paid off the bank is supposed to notify the DMV so the lien check mark is removed.  Until that happens nothing can happen with the title.

Well evidently when I paid off the SSR loan a few months back my credit union neglected to take this step.  I had to call them yesterday to request to have it removed.  The representative said she cleared the flag but it takes 72 hours to take effect, for some dumb reason.  I went through a similar song and dance when I was trying to finalize the transaction Cindy and I had with the Prius.  So there is no point listing the vehicle as being for sale until you actually have everything in place to allow you to actually sell it.

Last night I watched some of the republican town hall on CNN.  We happened to flip the tv on during Trump’s segment.  The format was not favorable for Donald.  When he doesn’t have others on the stage to hurl insults at you quickly realize he has absolutely nothing substantial to say about anything.  He simply has no specifics about issues and is unable to intelligently expand on any question asked of him.  Instead he just relies on his relatively small collection of 4th grade vocabulary to describe things like, great, the biggest, the worst, the best, terrible, awful, great, great, and great.

Anderson Cooper was relentless in actually holding Donald accountable for what was coming out of his mouth.  The highlight was when Trump was asked about the ridiculous wife mud slinging exchange between Ted Cruz and himself.  Donald’s first statement was “He started it!” which Anderson immediately identified as something a 5 year old would say.  It was pretty epic.

Out of the three remaining republican candidates John Kasich is far and away the most experienced, likeable, and reasonable. This is exactly why he is the underdog.  Too many Americans are impressed by one liners that have nothing substantial behind them other than intentions to anger and divide.
