When I worked retail I used to say "If it wasn't for people, the world would be a nicer place." Retail wasn't for me.

Pac, there have been a couple time when we were driving home from somewhere, passed a dealership, a vehicle caught our eye and we stopped and ended up buying it. We were not in the market for a vehicle. We are trying not to be so impulsive now that we're retired. Right now we have a 2006 Monte Carlo, getting close to 100K miles. I love it so much. We have looked around but can't find anything we like as much. It has been a very good car for us, but nothing lasts forever.
I wasn't really looking to do anything until next Spring, but the deals were being offered now. I'm fortunate enough to have a great dealership to work with.
I just finished having some turkey salad on NE style buns for lunch. No more turkey for me for a while. The rest is frozen!

I am an old timer. I do remember when you stood in front of the furniture store window and watched the TV and they had a loud speaker outside so you could hear it. The character I am referring to was called Boston Blackie.

I think it already has a name. It's called a Jeep, just like the little character from Popeye.
The military vehicle was named Jeep after the Popeye character.

I have a sign that says Bah Humbug and it is on the outside of my door. I also have a big pin that has a sheep on it and it says the same thing. I used to wear it on my coat, but it is starting to fade, so I just put it away. When I was waitressing, there were days when I really enjoyed working. Then there were days when I just wanted to slap every customer that came through that door.

That's why we bought DH a truck last summer. From summer to spring, dealerships are offering deals so they can clear last year's models out of the showrooms. In the spring, the new models come in and there are no good deals for a while.
I'm having lunch - English muffin pizza - and then getting ready to go run some errands.
Exactly. And when it comes to Jeeps, the 2014 model was introduced last April. Plus they told me that Jeep makes them increase the price three times/yr, so it would have been due for another increase before April 2014, when the 2015's are introduced
We went to the dealership for a tune-up on my Sunfire. They told us we needed new brakes and the door lock that was tampered with would be over $300. In total, everything would be in excess of $1,000.
TB had seen a van on their website so we decided to look at it. It happened to be parked right under a sign that said "Push, Pull and Drag $2,000 2 days only".
So, saving $2,000 on a newer, better for me vehicle or spend half that to fix a vehicle I rarely drive because it is difficult to get in and out. No brainer so we bought it then and there..
As for a name, it is Maroon in colour and has five doors so I called it Levine. Voice fans and People Magazine readers will get the references
You got to name it Pac!

Very Understandable. I have never eaten a Krispy Kreme donut or watched all of the original Wizard of Oz and will never break those either.

Respect for those that have gone before shows character.

I'll drink to that!
I just got back from the store a little while ago. I needed milk. It's really storming here, near whiteout. There was a school bus in my yard when I left and it's still there. I wish they would change the route one of these years. They go past my house, back into my neighbor's driveway to turn around and go back the way they came. Four times each day. A couple times a year they are good for missing the driveway and rutting up my yard. This time they missed it by ten yards or so. All for a couple kids that live down the road. If they continued past they could pick up more kids on the other end of the road, but that end has a drifferent bus. I don't get it.
The driver buried herself pretty good thinking the bus would go back up the four foot drop off

Send them a bill for damage to the yard. They're not supposed to go on private property.
I didn't realize that about driving onto private property. There wouldn't be a local/township allowance? I've seen busses turning around in other driveways in rural areas before. Although in this case I don't understand why they just don't continue up the road. That's what gets my goat. Actually, this whole door to door thing these days gets my goat, lol. When I wa a kid...

I think rules like that are set by states, and maybe even districts. It wouldn't hurt to call the transportation office, though, and explain the problem.
