Buyer Beware??

I have already related the story of J's purchase of the broken table. Jane has found their website http://www.tradingplaceshomeconsignment.com/OurStory.asp There is a statement that all merchandise must be submitted by the owner in useable condition. But, there is another section that says that the purchaser must make sure that the item is usable before leaving the store and that all sales are final. Jane has sent a rather forceful letter to the owners of the store. She has noticed that the business is a member of the BBB and she intends to write a letter to the BBB about this sale. Since she was told that the table was teak, and it is not teak, she may have an interesting leg to stand on. The table certainly did not have a leg to stand on.

I went to the baseball game last Fiday to watch Fruitland clobber Weiser in five innings (ten-run mercy rule). After two innings Weiser was ahead 10-2. Gads. The Fruitland fans were stunned and wondering if we were to be the victims of the ten-run rule. The head coach has to go on a cruise with his wife who had won the cruise for being one of the region's top bankers. The coach really did not want to go, but felt he had to perform his husband duties. We were wondering how the assistant coaches were going to explain this loss to the head coach. Well, by the fifth inning, Fruitland walked off the field with a 22-11 win. Whew!! The assistant coaches owe the Weiser coaches big time. Seems as though they have yet to teach the Weiser boys how to catch a fly ball. Seriously!

After the game J and I met with the Fabricius's for dinner at Synnove's (a really good Norwegian restaurant in Weiser, can you believe?) The dinner was to die for. While eating the other couple received a phone call from their daughter who is a junior at theU of I that she had just received an award from the U of I as one of the outstanding juniors. Everybody was pretty excited about that. Her mother had been chosen as the outstanding senior when she attended the U of I. Papa Coyote never even knew there was such an award when he attended.
