Against expert advice (including Clark Howard), your Mom and I have “bundled” cable TV, internet, and telephone. Yesterday afternoon I went to turn on the TV and I had no picture. I turned on the computer to find no internet service. Yep, the phone was dead too (we couldn’t even call Time Warner to complain). The whole sh– was down. I am slowly going to change the “all-in-one” service.
Halloween night was the first time I can remember that we weren’t home to hand out candy. It saves a lot of money but I miss the sampling.
We got to visit Grasshopper No.5 in Minneapolis over Halloween. We went to see the play “Flashdance”. That is not the story. The play was held at “The Mystic Lake Casino” southwest of Minneapolis. It is a huge, glitzy, maybe bordering on palatial complex with theaters, meeting rooms, hotel accommodations and multiple restaurants. Did I mention bingo halls and gambling floors. It is owned by the Sioux Indians. Lots of strange people wandering around. Halloween costumes didn’t help. Our American economy may suffering, but I can report the Sioux are doing quite well. It reminded me of driving up to Caesar’s Palace in Vegas. No I didn’t win anything. In fact, it is “bread and water” for the next few weeks.
My snow blower started with one pull!
