Building Bridges

The boat drama continues on, with the idiot Title Search Lady thinking that the bank that took over the MBank of Houston (who the default of lien originated from in 1985, but the bank folded) was Bridge Bank………..the document she was basing this on was found by her on the internet, and it was a teaching document, as in a “how to”…. Bridge Bank was actually the “bridge bank”.

So, she was harrassing an actual bank called Bridge Bank for almost a week, insisting that they took over MBank Houston (and they were saying “There’s no way, we didn’t become a bank until 2002! How could we take over a bank in 1989 when we didn’t exist until 13 years later), when the document was saying “bridge bank” as in “insert bank name here…bank that is bridging the take over”. When I found this out, I was like “Oh yeah, I am so telling the internets. This is too good to keep to myself.” Bill agreed.

After finding this out, I was able to do a simple internet search and find out that BankOne (now JPMorgan Chase) was the “bridge bank” (with the government interviening with loans) and that a simple Fax to the FDIC will yield us a release of lien in less than 10 days…….a lien that we could have had released by now if the the Title Search Lady knew a bit about her job.

Bridge Bank is now the new joke in our family. We need some cash! Hey, lets call the Bridge Bank! Oh no, that great mexican food place closed! Maybe Bridge Bank took it over. Where is my bathing suit? I think Bridge Bank has it.

You know what? I don’t care anymore. I am no longer stressed about this. I have finally unwound my spring and am now on Island Time. Beach towns just have a different flow. A different pulse.

I have finally synched my soul to the tides and the life of a beach bum.

Changes in latitude, changes in attitude.
