Eat with the Heat and assorted nonsense

In the Miami Heat's attempt to garner some fan goodwill, while the negotiations continue at a stalemate, they sponsored a "Eat with the Heat" lunch one day.  Most of the food trucks in the city were present, but the food wasn't free.   The DJ was good and the Heat mascot was entertaining.  Me and Kashmir entered the contest to try and win Jay-Z/Kayne concert tickets (not a winner...yet).

Monkey Getting Funky

One of the two toys that Kashmir has torn apart with love.  Oddly enough, I walk into the bedroom and the monkey was positioned like this!  No tampering on my part!
My new hero!!!

What's even better is that a Bank of America bank officer, when I complained about this fee because I am a long-time customer (more than 25 years!  back when they were previously known as Soverign Bank and then Nations Bank) in addition to my mortagage (too much!) and always carry the needed savings balance for the high-end accounts and that officer told me this was a  Congressional mandate to all banks and that BoA did not have a choice.  I guess the banks can do whatever they want including giving a middle finger to Congress.
