All very civilized

Another routine eye appointment today several towns away. I’ve been resistant to download an ‘app for everything’, but I have to admit I’m being won over.

The train app is awesome. Check the schedule, book the trip, pay for it automatically and your ticket is a QR code on your phone. Painless. Do it on the way to the station. We ought to do more of that for better reasons.

The bus has a similar app, though I don’t actually book the tickets with it. They have a map that shows you where your bus is right now.

Paying my credit card bill with my phone, ditto. Oh, by the way – I got a new debit card recently. It said the expiry date was 1/31.

I says to B, “That’s weird – it tells me the date but not the year.”

And he says, “’31 is the year.”

Yipe!
