How cool is this? This is my very first mobile blog. As I write this I am riding shotgun in our rental Chevy Uplander, cruising west on the 22 freeway toward Long Beach. Peterson is at the wheel, Sneedlet is sound asleep, Mrs. Sneed and Daughter Sneed are in the back talking about their counseling stuff. We got to Los Angeles at 1:30 pm local time and headed directly to Disneyland because the Sneed women will be tied up tomorrow with their conference. I called the hotel to say we would be in at tenish, which, since we prepaid, shouldn't be a problem, but better safe than sorry. Before we left home this morning I had to pick up a prescription for Son Sneed and go to the framing place to pick up Son Sneed's diplomas that Mrs. Sneed had framed for him as a graduation gift. Let me tell you that having something framed costs big bucks. If you are not a hick like me you probably know that. When we went into the store to order the framing, the framer woman rang something up and it came to $277. They were have a $100 off sale for purchases over $250 bucks or something, so it came to $177 plus tax after the discount. I thought that seemed like a lot to have two things framed. How wrong I was, that was just for the first one. The second also came to $177, so after tax the total came to $382. That seems like a lot to me for framing a couple of diplomas. This morning when I went to pick them up, I noticed a sign advertising a buy one, get one free deal. I did some quick math and figured that the new sale was better than the deal we got, so I asked the clerk if I could get the better deal. The kid working the counter has no power and had to call the manager. I expected the worse, but the only problem turned out to be computing the difference. After much computing, he gave me back $77 plus tax. I love it. Well, we have arrived at Long Beach, which is a pretty scary looking place. Our hotel is in about a mile from the intersection of Carjack Avenue and Serial Killer Road, where we are stopped at a light, so I hope the scenery improves ASAP.
