So before we left Kansas we called all of the companies we had utilities through. We called Cox, Evergy, Water/trash and Gas. We dropped off our router back to Cox, Evergy sent us a refund check, I guess because they over charged us somewhere, no surprise there. Water/Trash sent us a final bill and so did Gas. Now let's flash forward a couple weeks. We left Kansas for Missouri, and then Missouri for Costa Rica. On day 3 Evergy charges us $56, we think, eh whatever, that's probably for something we don't know about, that'll be the end of that. Then, this morning, Evergy again, charges us $13. We check our account, someone dropped the ball, it was never closed. At some point today we'll have to call and see what's up. Also, we have a pending gas bill for something that's supposed to come out in July, guess we'll be making another phone call for that too.
Automated systems are a good idea in theory, until the people running the systems don't hit the buttons they're supposed to. I'm not advocating a robot/AI world, by any means. We, people, train and build the robots/AI's or whatever. We did that, but we also can't hit buttons correctly. I know I'm no rocket scientist by any stretch of the imagination, but come on. If you're going to have people, live people, answering your phones, then do what you say you're going to do after you hang up the phone. Okay, I'm done.
Also, my birthday is in 4 days. I guess I should also say, it's just money, it comes and goes, I shouldn't get all bothered about it, truly I'm not, just irritated. People, humanity, are so intelligent, and so very negligent at the same time. I guess that's what free will is. Anyway, here's a picture of a bug that was outside our house last night. It isn't dangerous or aggressive, just looks scary.
