Dr Copa Scrip for Success

I was using my John Deere tractor to plow and scoop snow out of the driveway, and the oil line broke.  Well, it is never a good time for a breakdown, but this is one of the worst times!  So I took my tractor to the local John Deere dealer for repairs.  There was a time that I would have been able to do the repairs myself (I have done it before) but ever since my accident I have not been able to do that kind of repair anymore.

Well, they really overcharged me drastically.  They charged me for five hours work when I know it would have only taken me three, and they charged me for four quarts of oil, when I know it only takes three.  Even the owner’s manual tells you that it only takes three!  I told my wife about it and she told me that I should bring the error to their attention and ask them politely to correct their mistake.  I’m afraid that if I complain that they will remember me as a bad customer and not take good care of me in the future.  So I’m inclined to let it ride.  My wife says that I should just approach them nicely and assume it was a typographical error and for them to please correct it.  She says if I handle it right then they won’t be upset.  I really don’t know what to do!

Sometimes I wonder what parents are thinking about nowadays when they decide to name their children really crazy names.  With the popularity of video games, I have to say that I won’t be too surprised down the road in the near future to learn that a lot of babies are named after video game characters.  I can imagine that my grandaughtersmight be named Lara or Zelda!  Or my grandson’s named Link or Simon!  I don’t know anyone personally that has been named after a video game, and to be honest I haven’t heard of any famous people doing that either.  But then again I probably just don’t keep up on the celebrity news as much as a lot of people do!   As much as our son loves video games, I can imagine he might name his daughter Chun-Li!

I do find it interesting, as the business of video games evolve that people can easily download games from the Internet now, and not have to go to a brick and mortar store to buy their own copy.   The sheer number of video games out on the market now are mind-boggling!  Naturally, our son needs to have every system imaginable, and all of the role-playing games that they sell!  I think that downloading games is a good idea; our house is starting to be over-crowded with game cartridges and game CDs – storing them all has become a true challenge!

We are still trying to recoup from the weekends snow storm which left us with over 2 feet of snow and the skies have opened up once again and there is more snow coming down. We are supposed to get another 10 inches or so in the next 24 hours or so. Many businesses are being hit very hard and power is out everywhere.

I’ve discovered some nice shepard fairey prints online at shepardfaireyprints.com, along with some pretty interesting obey giant art. I’ve never really been all that keen on art, but now and then I do see some work that catches my eye such as this collection. This shepard fairey art  is authentic and they have out of print work offers there as well.

The Internet makes appreciating and learning about artists. They have taken a lot of music and art out of schools, for budgeting issues, which is a real drag. If you aren’t brought up with art in your life and not given a chance in school to find out about it, it makes it difficult to get into later in life. If it wasn’t for what I learned in school, in art class, I really would be pretty much clueless about most art. I basically about shephard fairey art because of his famous Obama HOPE poster that became so popular during last year’s election, how can anyone forget this classic?

Well here we go again. We are supposed to be getting a lot more snow starting tomorrow sometime. My car still has over 2 feet of snow on it’s roof from the storm we got over the weekend. I’ve been driving my truck these past days, the roads are still a mess and I trust my truck a whole lot more than my little Honda in this type of weather.

Guess we will see what happens. It is February.
