If I wrote this in a novel, nobody would believe it.

The insurance company sent us two checks - one for almost $100,000.00. The second for about 1/2 that. This is - for us at least - a lot of money to have lying around.

Immediately, we went to Wells Fargo - who owns our home. Graciously they let us live in it and make monthly payments. Wells Fargo is about three blocks from our house. Their name is also on the checks.

Wells Fargo will not take restoration checks for over $15,000.00. We have instructed to endorse the checks and mail them in. Why? Because the mail is so safe? Because Ohio is too far to do a wire transfer? Because they're idiots?

I hoping my next post is not about how we have to get the checks replaced.
