You are correct in what you said. I just never really worried too much about covid. For me, driving is more concerning.

It certainly can. It is all about how you look at things.

Someone can be concerned about drinking too much water, which I drink about 1 1/2 gallons a day and have never thought of, or someone can be concerned about all the alcohol people drink, how overweight everyone is becoming, or a number of things.

People were very concerned about covid and I'm still more concerned about driving than I ever was of covid. We all have our thing.

Reply to Credit application dropped my FICO score 58 points by roaringstar44

It isn't the credit application that dropped your score 58 points. I don't think your score dropped 58 points in a short amount of time, not that it couldn't but if it did there would be clear reasons for it. Chase didn't run it multiple times. It might not be an error, perhaps you were mistaken about your score to begin with. Perhaps the time period you are talking about encompassed many other events.

I can assure of this, it isn't the credit card application, and if the drop happened, there was a reason.

I love the voices of Peter Coyote and David McCullough. Both have done many of Ken Burns' documentaries.

Another excellent documentary by Ken Burns. Peter Coyote narrates it, which adds to the richness of the program. Many interesting stories I had not heard before. Highly recommend.
