Working on my first pair of fetchings … figure no one really reads the blog to get annoyed at yet another blog to post about another pair of fingerless gloves being made.

But this time I’m trying magic loop method.

My neighbors sometimes boggle me

So the past few mornings have been a big noisy around here.  The village has been out and about trimming trees (something about them making trees along right of ways un-climbable… at least the trees that survived the October 2006 storm).  The sounds of chainsaws while annoying are tolerable.  Now for the mind boggling part…

We’ve had a little bit of snow the past few mornings.  I’m talking about an inch… maybe two inches.  Now it hasn’t been a wet heavy snow, but the type that can be shoveled in 10 minutes.  The neighborhood I live in does not have out of control driveways (like in suburban subdivision hells).  But yet, at least one neighbor has insisted on dragging out his snowblower.  For an inch of snow.  In the time it takes him to get it out of the garage, get it started and cleaned the driveway he could have shoveled it.  I don’t understand it at all.  Plus with the price of gas these days…  (and it keeps going up and up… gotta love NY taxes).  Heck it’s not even enough show for the village to plow the streets (and they love to plow).

Buffalo Library… way cool

Can now pay fines on-line with a credit card.

Very cool for those of us who don’t carry around cash.

Whine on

I don’t wanna go to the dentist today.

It’s been a few years.

In addition I get to take the 4 horse pills (aka antibiotics) prior because of my heart murmur. 

And the husband took his i-pod to work today.

Did I mention that they changed my appointment time so I have to take the boy?

Joe Cecconi Chrysler… or where to not buy a car in Buffalo

Poor Buffalo Geek. He bought a new Jeep a few months ago. The service at Joe Cecconi was horrible. OK it was beyond horrible. I know that I will never purchase a car there. Oh and best part… Buffalo Bloggers all over this and will let the public know.

Byzantium’s Shores put it best:

BuffaloGeek recently made a vehicle purchase at Joe Cecconi Chrysler, and the resulting transaction with Joe Cecconi Chrysler did not go well. It seems that the people at Joe Cecconi Chrysler consider customer service to have ended as soon as the vehicle is off the lot, and that any attempt by a customer to procure more service from Joe Cecconi Chrysler constitutes attempted theft of services or something similar. It appears that lying and refusing to talk to customers is the way things are done at Joe Cecconi Chrysler, which is a shame. It’s not like there are lots of other Chrysler dealerships in the region; why, Joe Cecconi Chrysler is just about the only place to by a Chrysler for a fifty-mile radius, so it’s not like the guys at Joe Cecconi Chrysler will miss out on commissions if word of the abysmal, combative, and downright rude customer service at Joe Cecconi Chrysler should get out.So shop at Joe Cecconi Chrysler if you must, folks, but hold on to your wallets, and make sure you get all the service you think you’ll ever need before you sign the dotted line with the salespeople at Joe Cecconi Chrysler.

Remember that name: Joe Cecconi Chrysler. That’s a name you can trust.

Joe Cecconi Chrysler.
