JUST ANOTHER CON JOB—

Nearly every day since I bought my newer truck something has shown up in my mail box urgently reminding me if I don’t call some 800 number within 72 hours my factory warranty will expire.

**FINAL NOTICE** or some such nonsense they scream at me. “Immediate action is required to safeguard yourself from severe repair costs associated with electrical and mechanical failure” I am warned.

Of course, this is a really special opportunity; “This program IS NOT available to the general public” They shriek.

They also hint there is a “Recall Update Notice” involved.

Obviously, if I do not fall for this larceny my truck is doomed to explode going around the next curve and all future generations of Wolf babies will be born from unrelated parents.

Egad. How dumb do these bozos think we are?

On the other hand, maybe I do not want to know the answer to that question.

After all, if some profitable percentage of foolish consumers did not answer this blather the perps would have quit this scam years ago.

BOOK REPORT—

Space Wars by Michael Coumatos, William B. Scott and William J. Birnes

I am not sure you could follow the story line of this pathetic book with a road map. Of course, with three authors that is a small committee, and, we all know what happens when a committee does a project.

Don’t even bother with this one.
