(Old) Happy New Year 2024 MMP

Yanker, sorry you didn’t get the RV you wanted, but I agree with the others that you did the right thing by walking away. Maybe there are other, more honest dealers out there? I tend to have a cynical view of vehicle dealerships in general, but I was treated very fairly the last time I bought a car. The internet has made car-buying much more transparent; maybe that hasn’t yet trickled down to RV sales.

Oh, and the 10-year prohibition thing sounds like RV parks are probably getting kickbacks from the manufacturers or something. Gotta keep people buying new things they don’t need.

I had a dream about my Mom* just before I woke up this morning, then I realized that today is the anniversary of her death. 4 years. (It actually seems much longer; a lot has changed since January 2020.) So I’ve been kind of melancholy today.

*Well, it wasn’t really about her. It was about a stand-up comedy show that turned into a sort of psychology panel, which in turn became a giant flea market/garage sale kind of thing. Ed Asner was one of the vendors. I spotted Mom looking at a serving tray/bowl set that was just like one she used to have. And just as I walked over to talk to her, my alarm woke me up. Dreams are weird.
