The prompt from Linda for this #SoCS is “Fall from the sky.” That’s a pretty interesting prompt.
I immediately thought that I’d like some money to “fall from the sky” and then I realized that when I get an Etsy order, it’s like money that fell from the sky since the transaction is all “out there” on the internet.

Similarly, when the kids and I send money back and forth through Zelle, or when our Social Security checks get deposited it just suddenly appears in our bank accounts like magic. So, I guess I do get money that falls from the sky. Just wish sometimes it could be a bigger chunk falling.
And that’s my take on this week’s Stream.

Isn’t that the strangest? I don’t know why, but it fascinates me. When we were buying our house this last time, the escrow money just hung out in cyberland for hours. Not in our account, not in theirs. I was nervous, since our last house was a cashier’s check transaction. I had the check, then the lender rep had the check — tangible evidence of transfer. But it’s not like the money was in the check… like literally in the check… I dunno, it baffles me. Where is it when it’s not with a person? Who is minding the money? LOL The Mister works in finance and assures me it’s all binary, which I don’t find reassuring at all. Not that I’ll start keeping cash in my mattress, just…
