General Ranting of the Day
My first rant of today concerns those who have apparently been claiming they "turned" Hurricane Ivan in order to make sure it avoided their pet area. Even if you considered that POSSIBLY this type of thing would work (i.e. overriding the Will of the Goddess and changing her plans...yeah right) does this mean that they were then responsible for the deaths that occurred as the result of the "changed" direction of the storm? Of course not. Quite difficult when the consequences stare you in the face, eh?
Second rant - bad wholesalers. I'm finding, as a new retailer, that "you get what you pay for" is a good rule of thumb, but not always accurate. Very annoying to have to go through maybe 6 pendulums to find one that hangs properly that I can even bother to start to bead. i don't know if the wholesalers sending me this cruft are thinking that maybe it's ok because THEY don't have to deal with the customer or what, but I'm not going to send that stuff to people who send me money.
So those are today's rants. More perhaps later :-)
