I can’t help but wonder why Best Buy has singled out Kenmore appliances?  And while I would never buy a Kenmore appliance, I applaud their willingness to help out those who did.

When credit cards first appeared, they were just plain.  Then, they came out with the Bronze, Silver and Gold cards, each of which offered some special benefits.  Then came the Platinum card which is better than Bronze, Silver or Gold.

But, now I am being offered the Black card.  And, since black is a color and not a metal, I assume that it holds some special power.

Well, what ever its power, the interest rates and fees were too high so I threw it in the recycle bin.

Well, I received my new laptop from the Geek Squad.  The fix?  Why, they reset the software for me.

Since this is the second time that my software needed to be reset, I have to ask why this happens.  And, when will it happen again?

I am sorry, software should not need to be reset.  And, if it does, then there is something wrong with the software.  Regardless, I have no confidence in this repair.

Well, my PC came back from the repair shop for the 3rd time.  This time, the Geek Squad reset the BIOS.

I have my doubts as to whether resetting the BIOS really fixed the problem or if the PC just started working again because they were puttering with it.  Time will tell.

This picture was taken outside of a rest area on the Tennessee interstate.  They certainly know how to treat their law officers.  I wonder if there are reserved stalls too?
