Good News/Bad News
 
First the good news: Cart Battery failed and needed to replace it. Called The Battery Boys and they were very responsive and their price had not changed since I bought the batteries on the cart in 2012. Great customer support and attitude. Bad News: went to Public Market in Wedgwood and first noted goat cheese I was going to buy had a do not sell date for May 2018. Clerk removed it. Then saw Pepperage Farms cookies were on sale at 2 for 1 with signs on the racks in from of them Purchased 2 only to get to the cash register where I was told there were a couple of types that were not included. You had to be careful when following signs as they are intentionaly misleading. Moral of the story: 50% of Business were above board and good and 50% try anything including tricks to get you to buy..

I don’t know about anyone else, but I find it hard to discern someone’s intent unless I ask the person in charge some questions. If I don’t ask questions, I usually turn out to be wrong about my assumption and embarrass myself.

I love Goat Cheese. It's great in pasta dishes. I probably would have eaten it anyway.

Sometimes one is the pigeon; other times one is the statue.
