Shoplifting Doesn’t Pay!

I was poking around on the net today and came across a story about a couple who shoplift toys and other crap to sell on eBay. This couple was on the Dr. Phil show bragging about on they made over $100,000 in selling stolen product. And that’s not even the whole story. It seems that they brought along their three small children. There was even a time they got caught shoplifting with the kids. Now since the story aired law enforcement is involved. Just a week ago the Secret Service and the San Diego Regional Fraud Task Force seized toys and a car, plus other crap. The man accused of this crime is Matthew Eaton, who said that the thefts where “easy money.” This just shows how dumb people are. I would like to ask this guy why would he go on the Dr. Phil show and think nothing would happen to him. This guy and his wife should have everything seized, everything. After all that’s the law.

Fueling Up!

If any of you are anything like me you’re always on the hunt for a good burger. There’s not to many places around us were I can find a burger worth noting. When we lived in the Rochester, NY area a few years back there was a few places I would recommend, and not those chain stores.

One place I would consider getting a burger is at the ampm convenience stores. These guys are more than just a place to fuel up your car, you can fuel up yourself with just about anything you can think of. They have just about everything you want and need to be satisfied, and even satisfied everyone traveling with you. They have sandwiches, burgers, pizza, and treats for everyone, and of course fountain drinks. And lets not forget the coffee, every pit stop needs a good cup of coffee to fill you up. The ampm really isn’t like those other convenience stores, or food chains. You get hot foods prepared on-site, and a fully stocked condiment bar to make your food your way. Anyway, check out my picture of a burger, just the way I like it. If you have an ampm in your area you know what I’m talking about. Next time you visit them take a picture of your burger and post it on their face book page, just click on the secret menu tab on their Facebook page. You know what, just click on over to their Facebook page and see what others are posting, might make you rush out and get one, so be warned.

Blu-Ray Players!

I just read an article online that states that the Blu-ray Disc Association recently started to license their technology to Chinese manufactures. You all know what that means, Blu-Ray players for under $100 bucks. I hate to say it, but that’s when I’ll get one. If we could build these players and sell them at a much more affordable price I would have gotten one a long time ago. Right now these Blu-Ray players are selling for more than $200, which is way to high in my opinion. And the disc’s cost about twice as much as the standard DVD, why? I once heard that making a Blu-Ray disc was cheaper than making a standard DVD. The same happened when we went from a VHS tapes to a DVD, it was cheaper to make the DVD. At the time they where selling the DVD for twice the amount of the VHS tape. If these makers would stop being so greedy we wouldn’t need Chinese manufactures to get the pricing under control, and people would by more things made in the USA. I really feel that if the maker of anything would charge reasonable prices for their products we would be much better off than what we are now. The greed needs to stop!

One Word Loyalty!

I was just reading about an article online about my favorite NFL football team. The story goes something like this. During the 2009 NFL Draft the Minnesota Vikings drafted Nick Urban, who was a former standout lineman at Winona State. Being drafted by a NFL team is a dream come true for anyone in the sport. So when he got word that the Minnesota Vikings had drafted him he got excited, and then but on his Target shirt and went to work. That’s right, he will be signing a contract for a huge amount of money and he headed off to do his part time job at Target. He stated that the reason he went to work because his bosses worked around his schedule to get ready for the NFL. He also stated that he wasn’t going to leave them high and dry, he wasn’t raised that way. The Vikings should draft more people like him, people who work hard and have loyalty.
