Because I am a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show looking for it (though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator).

Clearly, in the Huntley way of looking at things, we’re more Westland Golf Center than Whisper Creek Country Club. But I know how to use technology.

For example, we needed a new refrigerator last year just at a time when we realized we had no spare cash whatsoever. The housing market is a mess, so we had no ability to borrow against the house. My wife wasn’t working, and I wasn’t so sure my own job was safe. The only thing I owned outright was my truck. Which got me to thinking.

I went online at work and found Huntley Title Loans, a car title loan store you don’t have to actually go to. It’s all there, on their website. You just take ten minutes to fill out the forms and you get a near-instant approval, and the money arrives in your checking account the next day. We got the new refrigerator with that loan, and I’m able to pay it back with a little bit of part time work. Which goes to show, I’m not lazy — I just believe in technology.

By the way, Huntley is near Woodstock, Coral, Burlington, Greenwood, and McHenry.
