While cheap on the front end the end up costing you everything in the long run.

Just love new truck shopping, getting Roes Tacoma serviced today I checked out the Tundras on the lot to waste a little time. Did the sales guy dance and little price checking online. I’ve gotten at least a text and email from every toyota salesmen within 100 miles trying to sell me something and every ones been an Arab.
Mark Miller Toyota in Utah. Always MSRP and there is a hotel a block away. They even picked us up from the airport. They are used to selling to out of state people. Paid them my Car taxes. They cut me a check for the DMV. Got a $50 smog check and walked the paperwork into the DMV and walked out with plates.

I just could not live with the answer I got from Verizon so I called them back. It was explained to me that sometimes a veteran passes away and a family member (spouse) maintains the same cell phone and receives the discount when they are not a veteran. This is the reason for the yearly verification policy. I suppose I can live with that. This new lady also credited my account for the discounts I lost. Further she updated my plan and it is a few dollars cheaper if I decide to stay. I still have to submit my DD-214 again to get the discount started all over. I have a few days to decide whether or not to change to Patriot.

Good evening all. Finished up Pacific last night and decided not to start another series for a few days. One more day of work and the weekend is here. Biketoberfest this weekend and I have decided not to go. Last year we rented the Vrbo house and invited some friends over too. It was great but honestly being there so many times it sort of gets stale. I find it better to just go to Leesburg and the one here in my home town. Some of the same vendors, activities, etc., and I can sleep in my own bed at night. I am sure I will be there again but for now I am giving it a break. I really would like to go to Sturgis next year if I am healthy. I have the information on the company my friends used to ship their bikes. I think that would be the best option for me. They pick it up the week before you leave and take it to their warehouse facility near the airport. They pick up at the airport and take you to your bike. Then when you leave you drop off the bike and they take you to catch the flight. A bunch of our friends and fans of the band did it this year and said it was the way to go. Otherwise you need three weeks. A week up, a week there and a week back. I can't get away for three weeks straight. I can do a week to ten days though.

What they are having problems with is the body was so bad when they found it they couldn’t identify what sex it was.

I agree Dan. It has more to do with the way the headline was written, and the poor quality of journalism today. One additional word would have changed the whole sentence meaning.
