Scooter Ride in New Orleans French Quarter

 I discovered after 4 years that I had placed a video on YouTube of me riding my scooter in the French Quarter. I totally forgot I did it and that I saved it. I had a camera on my scooter a while but lost the videos when a computer crashed. Somehow this survived by being on YouTube.

 It isn't edited just raw footage.

Speaking of Pardons

  Lots in the news about pardons and yes I have one too. The good state of Louisiana gives automatic pardons to first offenders. It was easier to go along with this fake conviction than fight it, too expensive. Then  immediately get a full pardon. However as with all things like this, no where is the pardon displayed or publicly disclosed. So here it is and here it is made public so all those places that list the conviction will know it was fully pardoned. It can also be fully erased but that takes time, money, and lawyers. A lot of money to erase something that was fully pardoned.


Full Pardon

These Chairs Have History

 


 For about 5 years now these two chairs have been sitting on my back porch so they are real ragged. I should take better care as they have a unique history. Over 20 years ago I was driving by a warehouse on Tchoupitoulas Street  in New Orleans. They were clearing it out of tables, sewing machines and lots of these chairs. I stopped and asked if I could buy a chair and the manager gave me two that needed TLC. Originally they were painted an off or faded white. He told me the place was a sewing factory during WWII that made uniforms. At one time New Orleans was full of places that made clothing. The equipment and chairs were shipped in when a factory in the North East closed up. If you look close you will see the chairs were wired up. He said the old glue and maple wood did not work well in a humid climate so they drilled holes and wired supports to keep them together. A good solution as they have held together all this time. Unconformable as they are I am sure there were cushions on the seats back when woman sat on them making uniforms 80 years ago. I should take better care of them.

Walmart Refused To Cover Their Own Warranty





 I attempted to return a marine battery after 3 months. It failed to hold charge. The web page clearly stated 12 month full warranty exchange. However the customer service rep said the computer said it was not covered. I was told to contact manufacturer. I called them, they said 12 month full exchange warranty as on web page that it was a Walmart issue and gave me a Walmart number to call. Walmart National Customer Service confirmed it was covered 12 month warranty exchange for new one. They were to contact store, it would take 3 days. I returned to store, waiting in line again with the web page, and confirmation phone calls but asked for manager this trip. The manager said yes it is covered and directed the store customer service to exchange it. It took me 3 hours of my time, several calls, and 2 trips waiting in lines to finally get them to recognize their own advertised warranty. Not again, I will deal with Auto Zone from now on.
