Read fine print on line insurance

If you subscribe to the Indiana American water line insurance, you had better pay close attention to what your policy covers. According to the results that I got from them with a problem I had, and has now accelerated, the only thing they cover is if you are in the middle of the ocean, in a canoe, with the plumbing pointed true north, and get hit with lightning, before they will bother with you! Be sure to read the fine print, but you may have to have a magnifying glass to see it. Before you pay, read it carefully!

Man hasn’t control over our climate

If you are curious as to why the state and local governments and institutions are pushing the “Go Green” agenda, it is because the governors have been given a mandate from the federal government and a deadline to implement this program or forfeit all federal funding. Which means funding for roads, schools, social programs, etc.

In other words, every conceivable state and local program or entity that exists!

And to think that changing light bulbs or proper inflation of your tires is going to change the environment is a big joke. Man has no control over the climate, regardless of what Al Gore says! The climate has been cyclically changing since the world was created. So to think that man has any control over it is a real stretch of the imagination.

Do you realize how ludicrous this whole convoluted idea sounds?

Oh, by the way, another sidebar question: From what college or institution of learning did Al Gore receive his scientific/climatology degree, anyway? Just thought I’d ask since I can’t seem to find that information anywhere!

Kroger employees polite, helpful

While shopping at the Kroger store on North Dixon Road in Kokomo recently, I found that they were out of a certain bakery product. I mentioned this to a bakery worker with a badge name of Lonna. She told me that they would have that product the next day, and they did.

I also asked an employee by the name of Patty to find someone to put a heavy bag of dog food in my cart. She complied.

These two Kroger employees are very polite and helpful people. Thanks to Mike Gaines and his training.
