I have begun searching for new home/auto insurance. I am finding that being “dropped” by an insurance company is not all that unusual. My first visit was to an All-State office. The encounter was well ochestrated. I was assigned a very nice agent to compile the quote but within 3-4 minutes of my visit, the owner of the business entered the office and was conveying his thanks for my visit. He was very personable and we were comparing common interests very quickly. When he left, the agent and I finished the quote (30 minutes). As the quote was wrapping up, the owner reappeared and released more charm. The lowly agent must have signaled electronicially that we were wrapping up and “wha-la”, the owner reappears. It was not fair. It was two insurance types against me. It was their version of a modern day version a “sting”. The bottom line is it is my money. I win!
The “eyes” are on me. Upon returning home from a movie recently, there had been a light snow. As your Mom and I were going from the garage into the house, I told your Mom that I was going to shovel the snow. She told me to leave the garage door open and to leave the rear door to the house ajar. It was apparent that she wanted to hear the sound of the shovel. If the shoveling stopped I was probably dead (or laying in a heap in the snow). What a sweetheart. She was worried about me. I think she was worried about me. What else could she have intended? It is amazing what a heart operation does.
The Wisconsin Badgers are one of eight teams that remain in the quest for the NCAA basketball championship (out of 68 teams that started the tournament). This is “rarified air” for the basketball team. Go Bucky!
