Have you seen this video?  This shows the value of teamwork and following an established plan.  This is a Japanese band who recruited some of their fans with webcams, gave them insturctions, and then they put all the webcam videos together in a mosaic.  People are linking arms and doing all sorts of things without ever seeing each other.  Very clever, and it took them about 3 months to stitch the videos all together.

So whether or not you love the music, I think you will enjoy the video.

The show is recommended for adult audiences only, and will be at the Veterans Memorial Amphitheater, 7991 California Avenue (in Fair Oaks Village).  If you haven't been to the amphitheater for awhile, you should see it now.  Many upgrades have already been made, and there will be even more in the future - it is a great venue!

Big price reduction! This 3 bedroom 2 bath home is the Maggie model in the beautiful new Glenbrook active adult community developed by Del Webb in Elk Grove. The seller bought the property and closed escrow in 2007, installed upgrades and extras, and since then has spent much of her time in a care facility.

Now this new home is being sold for much less than she paid before the upgrades and less than the new ones are selling for without many of the extras she added after moving in! Even better, if you are 62 or over, you can purchase it with the new reverse mortgage program for purchasers and have no monthly payment.

You owe it to yourself to check out this beautiful home and the community supporting it. There are a clubhouse, gym, tennis courts, pool, fun activities, parks, and within a quarter of a mile there is a wonderful shopping center with great restaurants, a great market and many shops.

It is located at 7408 Abbey Circle, Elk Grove, and it is easy to find.

NEW PRICE:  $265,000

That is a reduction of $14,900!

From Hwy 99, take Elk Grove Blvd West to Bruceville Road, turn south to Del Webb Blvd, left to first street (Sheffield) and one short block to Abbey Circle. Turn right to address, the third house on the right.

You may have heard about this on the news:

A New Hampshire man says he swiped his debit card at a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes and was charged over 23 quadrillion dollars.

Josh Muszynski checked his account online a few hours later and saw the 17-digit number - a stunning $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars).

Muszynski says he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers and the $15 overdraft fee.

The bank corrected the error the next day.

***

This reminds me of something that happened to me years ago.  I had made a large deposit in my checking account, and paid a few bills, but nothing very large.  Two days later, I got a call from the bank notifying me that I was more than $4,000 overdrawn and they had bounced three checks I had written!  I called them to remind them of the large deposit, and they told me I was overdrawn including the deposit.  They only laughed when I told them they had made a mistake.

I headed to the bank, and wound up spending two full days going through their records (they told me they "didn't have time"), and found out that the machine that entered transactions had stuck somehow after my account number was entered, and more than 30 transactions that followed - both deposits and withdrawals - were all posted to my account.

By the end of the second day, I had found enough errors to get within $27 of what my records showed.  I demanded that they write letters of apology to the creditors to whom my checks had been returned.  I told them I'd stay and wait while they wrote them.  Once I had them in my purse, I closed my account and told them they could keep the $27 - I just couldn't spend any more time trying to get any closer.

That $23 quadrillion figure could be 5 or 6 transaction amounts that all got stuck together somehow.  Or some mischievous gremlins in the computer!  Or someone trying to get him to quit smoking?  Or ....?
