Geez William, give these poor businesses a break. They have to pay for all that Obamacare now. Premiums are going up, up and up. Somebaody's got to pay for all that free healthcare.

So, when I returned the two cable boxes to Time-Warner and to terminate the HD and DVR service, I asked them how much would it cost just to have basic cable. The guy said they would have to send out a technician to put a 'trap' on the line to filter out the other channels, so I told them to close the account. It's Friday and the cable is still active, but I have powered antennas from the Shack anyway. Go figure. The rent is too damn high! This week I took my daughter's PT Cruiser in to the dealership because she said the front was 'wobbling' at 35-40 mph. The service manager called back and said one of the front tires had a 'ball' on it. He recommended getting four new Goodyear Eagles, balanced and a front end alignment - $950. What!? Now, why would anyone want to pay close to $1000 to put Goodyear Eagles back on the same car that already had a Goodyear tire with a ball on it at 30,000 miles? So, I had the tires rotated, front to back, for $15 on the south side, sweet!. Maybe I'll buy two new Falken tires at Discount Tires. Go figure. The rent is too damn high!
