  • A great day

    A new president elected, nice weather for the inauguration, and it was beautiful here, a balmy 65 degrees out here, so we went up to the Rocky Mtns to see what we could see -

    about 15 or 20 bull elk hanging out -and a few wanting to fight

     

    On the drive I told my 86 year old mom that it was reported that out of 8 years in office George Bush spent 3 full years either at Camp David or on his ranch in Crawford Texas on 'vacation'.  She replied "Good, imagine what more he could have done if he was working all that time"  Gotta love her! Here's a picture taken last year in Redondo Beach.

  • a rant

    We are out in California this week and brought our car xm radio toa be ase the xm radio in the rental car. We stopped @ best buy to get a car adapter and it is all hooked up but isn't working.

    I called the 800 # for audiovox to see if they could help, and I was on hold for 105 minutes. I went from number 3 to number 1 in line in 18 minutes, so I stayed on hold as I figured it wouldn't be long.

    At 330 pm local time I was disconnected as apparently they go home at 530 central time. I immediately called back and got the "we are currently closed msg."

    I am so pissed at AUDIOVOX
