I forgot to rewind

There’s a small, family owned video store near my house that I visit every so often. I like them because they are half the price of Blockbuster and Movie Gallery. They don’t have a huge selection but they do get the latest releases at the same time as the bigger video stores. They also have a lot of the old VHS tapes which have the “Remember to Rewind” sticker for the classic movie lovers.

I was in the store tonight to rent Zodiac. When I got up to the register, the clerk informed me that I had a 75 cent charge pending. I asked what the charge was for and she said it was the rewind fee. Seeing as I never rent VHS tapes, I asked what movie it was that I didn’t rewind. The clerk told me it was for The Number 23. I failed to rewind a DVD?

I told her that I didn’t think I needed to pay the fee. She told me that because the charge was in the computer I couldn’t rent a movie without paying it first. I asked her how was I supposed to rewind a DVD. After a short pause, she mumbled something about the owner (dad? brother?) being an idiot and took the charge off. She also took off the rental fee for Zodiac as an apology.

Maybe a DVD Rewinder isn’t such a bad idea. At $16, it would pay for itself after only 22 DVD rentals.

Regular or sale price?

A friend sent me this screenshot of the pricing for Seventh Generation Baby Detergent from Diapers.com.Â The sale price is in bold and bright red so it must be a good deal!

He emailed the Diapers.com Customer Support people to see if he could get the regular price. He never did get a response. They removed the sale the next day and just set the “regular” price to the “sale” price.

It’s bat country!

Driving home last night, I had the strangest thing happen. It was already dark and the street lights were on. Bats can usually be found around the lights because a lot of bugs are there. When the bats are there, you can see the bats swooping through the cloud of bugs picking them off one by one.

I had the driver side window of my car down because it was nice and cool out. When I went to pass under a street light, something came flying by my face. I heard a loud WHACK! on the passenger window. I flipped on the overhead light and there was a bat laying in my floorboard!

The bat wasn’t moving at all, not even a twitch. He (she?) had been knocked out cold. I pulled over and put the bat in the grass by the road. There wasn’t a bug around it so it didn’t appear to be chasing one when it flew into my car. My best guess is that his (her?) friends dared him to try and fly through the car.

Peer pressure can get you into trouble.

Send ice to Owensboro

I was checking my DSL speed on Speedtest.net and noticed they added a new server close to me. The server is located in Owensboro, KY and is hosted by Owensboro Municipal Utilities. Out of curiosity, I checked the OMU broadband website (the site utilized in the speed test).
