Amazon just thanked me for the return of an $8 item I did buy and did not return (nor want to return). I confirmed they refunded the $8 to my credit card. Here’s how this call would go: I’ll spend an hour explaining it to them until they get it. Eventually they might re-charge the $8, then issue me a $5 credit for my troubles, which would be a fraction of the value of my time spent on their weird error. Modern commerce is weird.
Last night we opened our home to our first election results party. It appears we’ve started a new tradition. We also have leftovers to feed us for a week…
I’m reasonably pleased with yesterday’s election results. My team got the house, which is a critical balance adjustment. Given the Senate map, in all rights it should have been worse. As long as RBG stays healthy we stand a chance of coming out the other side in two years.
