Corning, CA

We went to the Les Schwab store in Anderson this morning where they moved the front tires with the wear pattern onto the left rear dual and brought those tires up to the front. We have to have a front end alignment done but the shop in Anderson could not handle a big rig like this. They called their shop in Corning which had the equipment and could fit us in at 2:00 PM Wednesday.

The tire store had FOX News playing in the waiting room and I sat and watched it for a half hour. I think this is the first time I have watched it in my life. What a bunch of crap they are spreading! No wonder Americans have such weird ideas. Present company excepted of course.

We drove the 40 miles to Corning, confirmed our appointment and went to the Olive Pit store. This is like a candy store for olive lovers! They have dozens of flavors of olives, oils and spreads and all are available for tasting!. We tasted a few and picked up a few to buy. They now have a wine tasting room as well but it was only 2:00! Another time.

We checked into the Heritage RV Park and discovered it was no longer Passport America and our half price deal was no longer valid :(. We booked for two nights at the Good Sam rate as it will be late afternoon when the alignment is done. We dumped the tanks and set up the StarChoice as their cable brought in only four very weak channels. Norma wants to watch Dancing With The Stars in HD.

We are being slowed down but we have lots of time. Life Is Good!

  1. That is the role in life for a Canuk RVer, to set up the dish on a whim. YOu only get your wine after the job is completed. Good training Norma!!

  2. Faux News is a shameful misuse of the First Amendment. Sorry you had to see that!

  3. Sounds like you guys are having fun. I used to like to watch Fox when we had cable. It was good to see as it reminded me why I don't live there anymore, no offense to anyone.

    Casino night sounded like fun, especially after you got home! TMI!

  4. The Olive Pit. Just about perfect if you ask us.

  5. Fox is about market share, money, Rupert knows that a certain percentage of people want to bash liberals and he is more than happy to oblige. He only needs 20% of the media market to make what is truly a packet and so it goes. I always get a kick out of their disclaimer before a good whooper: "Some people say"...

  6. I was happy to see Pox News take it on the chin this election cycle.

  7. It just so happens that Faux News was being mentioned over at another corner of the web. Margaret and Helen

  8. The False News Network (AKA FOX)is truly a gem for shareholders who capture a substandard - but ever increasing - audience with an IQ of their shoe size. Sad....but true! How that Fox dribble can continue to exist is mortifying to the sane and intelligent viewer/reader!
