OK so I decided that I needed to wear the snow boots today. The weather guy said it was going to snow a bit but "not that much". Yeah, right and you have some water front property in Arizona just waiting for me! As I sit here looking out my upstairs window and typing this, a family of polar bears are moving into the vacant house across the street. The snow is falling and it is that really thick, heavy stuff that makes it impossible to clean off the windshield for any length of time. To top this off, I got out this morning to leave for work and all the car did was "click, click, click". I had to wake up the Trusted Steed (my spouse) and have him trot out and jump the car....again! This really torqued my petunia's because about two years ago, the lovely folks at Ford gave me a brand, spanking new battery. This was done because the one that the car came with, which mind you was under warranty, had a bad cell and they thought it would be nice to give me a new one. Unfortunately, this battery, which is also under warranty, has a problem now. So I called into work and said I would be late and took the car back to my neighborhood Ford folks who promptly told me that the battery had a bad cell. Oh yes, and this time, they can't replace it for free because it isn't under warranty anymore. Seems as though when they replaced it the first time, it was still under the original car warranty and now, that warranty is no more. Oh but wait...I bought this great extended warranty and it expires in 2009! Oh but...you can't use it because it doesn't cover batteries. Hmmmm.....now what could I have done with the $1,700.00 that I paid two years ago rather than buy a warranty?
Seems to me that they could have cut me a sprout on this one. Haven't these big auto dealers anything else to do than royally screw one of the little people? I mean, it's hard enough buying gas right now with oil prices paying for the palaces in Iran and Iraq. Oh and to top this off, our two little buddies from Iran and Venezuela are definitely planning a little surprise for us here. You can't tell me those two crazies aren't in the same sack race! Which brings up the next point, our lovely border crossings! Yes, yes...everyone visits America. Just hike over the border and don't get hung up on that "5 miles" of the huge fence we are building. I mean, how long did it take the authorities to nab the little snot that brought all the drugs across the border the caused two border patrol officers to be thrown into prison for just doing what they were hired for? Must have been nice for the "little snot" to have "get out of jail and cross the border anytime you want" cards. We can thank Mr Johnny Sutton for that blunder. I think those two border guards should get out of prison, sue the pants off of Sutton and his cronies and go strait back to work with the Border Patrol. Oh yesssssss! I'm on the soap box again! Well, my nose is about froze off just looking out the window here in good 'ol Montana so I best get down from this box and get back into regular mode. Feel free to comment OK? I could use an intelligent conversation with someone. Cheers! Freedancer
