Happy ending to my stolen bike (sort of)
Well, I posted a few weeks back about how my Merckx/full Record was stolen out of my parking garage. I am happy to report that my renter's insurance will cover the FULL replacement cost of it and I am getting the money right now as we speak. Now I get to shop for a new bike... 
Between this, my no-hassle mortgage process with USAA and all sorts of other great things I get from them, USAA has my business for life. If any of you out there are eligible for USAA stuff and don't use it, I'd highly recommend them. If nothing else, pay the $20 per year in renter's insurance in case your bike gets stolen.

Smartmoney pointed out a bit of a bonus for USAA investors. Guys like Tom Marsico manage funds for them, and the fees are less than they are for the equivalent Marsico funds. Sweet.
