Legal contractual document - or not?


Office Depot contractual document - or not?
Originally uploaded by edhiker.

Still pending... and pending. No answer to two emails sent a month later. I have a friend who bought the same item at the same time and is still waiting for her reward. At least two employees at Office Depot encouraged us to sign up to get a rebate from the puchase of two HP laptop computers on 9/30/06. So far we have talked to three Office Depot people about this and they all say to talk to somebody else. -
Late news, there was a reply to my third email (having a link to this posting).... "we are willing to make an exception for you, since the store clerk told you this purchase would earn a reward." 12/18/06

Looks like the S2 highway will be closed for a long time. Funding for big projects is in short supply. Joe and Bobcat got special permission to walk to the site (don't know about the car in the background)

The Millard Sheets Gallery


The Millard Sheets Gallery at Fairplex
Originally uploaded by edhiker.

One of my main reasons for going to the Los Angeles Fair in Pomona (Fairplex) is to see Photographic and Painted Art. It was missing this year, in this building and under the grandstand. The artists and their art was not found, what have they done? I can watch art on TV, but that's not why I go to an art museum or contest.

Some links found:
