Why do people bother answering their phone when they can’t talk to you?
It’s rude to answer your phone and then tell the person that you can’t talk because you’re with someone else. Oh, so I’m bothering you and not good enough to talk to? Why the #@$# did you answer in the first place? Haven’t you heard of voice mail?
Next time I see you calling I’ll be hitting the ignore button and will call you back when the time is right for me. Until then, go talk to my voice mail.

This is the sign they have posted at the entrance of City Hall.
There are mockingbirds “dive-bombing” the people going into the North Las Vegas City Hall. They are just protecting their nests, but if you’re a woman watch out because they seem to be targeting them.
Here’s a great comment from an employee, “I used to site in my car and watch them attack someone, wait until they were busy with someone else, before I’d run in. I’m no fool.”
It’s bad enough you don’t want to go to work but now you’re attacked on they way in.

I am sick and tired of customer service people who do not understand ENGLISH! The next time I get one on the phone, I’m sending the product back.

Permanently…
Winewench and I were out doing some shopping, and while we were at Sam’s Club I decided to pick up some Bailey’s Irish Cream. Sam’s Club had the one liter bottle available for $20.99. Being the prudent shopper that I am, I decided to whip out my trusty iPhone and check the price over at Total Wine’s Summerlin store. Lo and behold, they were advertising the same bottle for $18.97.
Since we were going to Lee’s to pick up tickets for the 2010 Lee’s Beer Experience, I figured I’d check out their claim that they would price match any local advertiser’s price.
When we got to Lee’s, the first thing I noticed was that the same one liter bottle of Bailey’s Irish Cream was $25.99!! Time for the test.
Now Lee’s is not known for their friendly customer service. Every time I go, the employees are grumpy at best, and often just plain rude. This time it tended to the latter. When I asked about the price match policy, he said “you need to show me proof”. When I showed him the Summerlin Total Wine website pricelist, his response was “you have to show me a print copy with today’s date on it.” All the while I’m standing there with a shopping cart with about $200 worth of Beer, Wine and Liquor.
“Fair enough” I said “I’ll let you put all of this back while I go to Total Wine.”
And I did.
So from now on, when Lee’s has a beer or wine experience, I’ll go and taste their wares.
And then buy what I like from Total Wine.

In our continuing quest to celebrate our anniversary and Winwench’s birthday weekend, we decided to head over to to sample their wares.
Tenaya Creek Brewery is located at 3101 North Tenaya Way just off of Cheyenne and US 95 in Las Vegas. We got there mid-afternoon and took a look at their tap board.
I opted for their seasonal Hop Ride IPA, while Winewench opted for a guest tap, the Sierra Nevada Glissade Golden Bock. Both were excellent, mine just hoppy enough, hers smooth and slightly sweet.
We then asked if they had a food menu, and found that they no longer served food, the victim of Nevada’s obtuse no smoking laws. Since we had not yet eaten anything that day yet, we decided it was prudent to head down to the nearest Macaroni Grill for a quick lunch. She had the Chicken Spiedini, and I had the Lamb Spiedini.
With some food in place, we headed back. On arriving, I opted for an Imperial Stout, while Winewench went straight for the 2010 Barleywine, having tasted and enjoyed the 2009 version at the Great American Beer Festival. Once again, two great locally produced beers.
Highly recommended.
