Ch-ch-ch-changes

On the First of the Year, or thereabouts:
    We're getting a new waste hauler, and new refuse containers.  But don't think we can keep the ones we have now; their owners will pick them up last collection day.
   My Retirement Prescription Plan will change in some way, but we should not be concerned about it. The irony is that Dave's condition entitles him to no-cost prescriptions from the VA, but the VVH does not have an alliance with that VA policy.
   There is a deadline on recall for the Takata Airbags which are most likely in my Honda. According to the microscopic text on a postcard mailed to me, I'm to fill out a form opting in or out of a class action settlement. It's irrelevant because whatever monies are to be  distributed invariably end up in the pockets of the attorneys assigned to the case.
   Another Class Action mailing, this time for unwanted callers who defy the "Do Not Call" mandate, which they treat as a joke: I receive an average of 2 such calls a day, some of late are even from the 753 exchange. I could reply by the deadline, but see above as to monetary disposition.
   Today, a notice that my present BC/BS Excellus Retirement Health Insurance Policy will be terminated on Jan.1, but not to worry, it will be replaced by another policy which should afford similar coverage. That's what they said last time, but that was not true. Well, it was similar, just somewhat more costly.
   I find that the pre-pay option for our home heating oil is not available this year, nor any other cash discount either apparently, and at this week's price per gallon of $3.099 on Tues., and $3.189 on Thurs.(I asked), it's going to be an unprecedented fuel-cost year.
     I can't wait to get tomorrow's mail.
