See, I don't know my titles well. I'm just no figuring out "boss" isn't a fancy title. I was thinking that was for Knights. But I like Sir Redvee. Has a nice ring to it.

Since he's been to New Zealand, perhaps it's a gold ring? One enscribed with Elvish runes using a profane language?

You were lucky it wasn't World Airways. They would just randomly cancel flights and refuse to give you refunds. Was in Hawaii and showed up at the airport and World said not flying today. Then refused to refund the return half of the ticket. AMEX refused to help, so just didn't pay my bill and sent AMEX half my credit card. Haven't done business with AMEX since. 40 years of lost expense account business that was likely $50k+ per year. Told you I don't hold grudges.

Oh, I got a great story about World.
But too long to tell. I will say it was a complete misery.

always dug how this bass track sits in the mix……talk about a blast from the past….wonder if this (great) track doesn’t get more attention cause she was a porn star…..

I don't recall ever hearing that before. The bass does sit well. Kind of a pogo stick bass, though.

Were it not for World Airways, I wouldn’t be able to claim having ever been to Baltimore. Had a layover there on the way to London in ‘83. I don’t recall anything else about that flight except going into town for a few hours.

At times it is needed to make the point, unfortunately.

Unfortunately it is contagious. Went to Von’s yesterday AM a little before 7:00. Picked out a watermelon and other items. Only self-serve was open. The watermelon didn’t have a sticker on it so it wouldn’t scan. And it wasn’t listed in the lookup index. There was no one to help. Absolutely no one. So I just left everything sitting there and walked out. I was hot.

We did that at Walmart once (not Christmas or a holiday). Had a cart full of things. Lines were really long when we got finished and were barely moving. We kept thinking they would open a few more checkouts. Even one would have felt like the situation was noticed and an attempt was being made to mitigate it. As out frozen items began to melt after a long wait. We just walked away and went home. Not that we like doing that kind of thing, but there seemed no excuse for the waiting and not even an employee to say they were working on it. When I worked at Kresge's (where K-Mart came from), several people were trained to help on checkout. I worked maintenance and I could get called to help out.
