The XM Radio Honeymoon

Print This Post

It’s all the wonderful wife’s fault.  We went in there “just to see” and came out with a new car radio and an XM Radio unit.  After all these years of marriage who knew she’d go for a second marriage to a radio service, one I’d criticized as total folly from Day One.  I guess she figures anything I criticized so badly can’t be all that bad for me to play with now.

It was quarter to five when I dropped the wife off for another of her after-hours classes and it was seasonably hot out there.  Of course, when the place place was built they stripped every tree and bush from the large acreage, so there was no shade anywhere to hide.  I had bottled water and plenty of reading material for the two-hour wait, but there had to be a better place.  Sweaty hands while reading the newspaper make a bit of a mess, and I do not perspire, I do indeed sweat.  Profusely.

As I read of the ”300 marathoners stricken by heat; 1 dead” headline of the marathon in Chicago over the weekend I’m thinking about the conditions we had here for our races.

On Friday and Saturday, for the Cross Country Classic, we had periods of moderate to heavy rain falling from some very ominous, low and very dark clouds with rain continuing to fall during the night Friday. 

Paying Comcast by Credit Card

After paying my Comcast bill on-line by credit card I received a confirmation email.  The lead paragraph reads:

This message confirms that your credit card payment has been received. You have authorized Comcast to charge the credit card specified below for the amount indicated. It may take up to 3 business days to process your payment.

Maybe could have been a bit more graceful, but I’m sick of the PC approach and am more and more in favor of in-your-face.

The local PD says theft is involved and it’s up to the business owner to file charges.
