It’s early morning here....quiet......lull between lulls, I guess......some storm yesterday. Blew down my little mini-garage altho prob’ly not beyond redemption. I’m told that none of us is beyond redemption but have you tried collecting from Sprint lately. Well, comparing rebates to redemption may be going a little far but that’s the language they use. Redeem your rebate! That’s what they say. The implied agreement is that you will buy at a stated price and they will send you a rebate that substantially lowers the price. The catch is......getting the rebate from a large company that says, “catch me if you can.”
And if you’ve ever been on the phone with a large company, you may have found yourself routed around the world several times before arriving at an automated message that in essence says, “up your nose with a rubber hose, buddy.” And even that, not necessarily in English.
So, we had a small storm; then we had a big storm, lots of wind and rain, lots of stuff flying thru the air tho’ I never caught hide or hair of Dorothy or Toto; I guess they lost power to about a million-three but they had if back on way faster than they did in Kansas where John and Delores were without for eight days. Good thing they lived in the city and not out in the country somewhere.
Anyway, it’s very calm and quiet here this AM....Millyrose & the dogs are sleeping soundly and only me and the damn roosters are stirring about. You’da tho’t all that damn wind would’a blown all those chickens back to Kansas where they would’a known what to do with ‘em.
Time for another cuppa coffee........Justin Other Smith
