YEA PICKLE BALL AGAIN AND BUYER BEWARE

We moved yesterday to Soledad Canyon Thousand Trails, it’s still in Acton about 6 miles from where we were. At least now we don’t have to pay for camping here for the next 2 weeks.
Here they have 2 tennis courts with the Pickle Ball Lines painted on, so yea, we can play pickle ball again. Which we went out and practiced yesterday and this morning we played a couple games. This TT RV Park is really big; I can get my 5 miles in 1st thing in the morning with no problem. They have an adult pool and Jacuzzi; they have a big family pool on the other end of the park. They have train rides, horseback riding, Tee Pees, western town, but of course most of the stuff isn’t open yet, Memorial Day weekend it will be.
About a month ago, Jodi Alton told me she was at Vons in Simi and did her shopping; she used her Von’s card and a debit card to pay for everything. That night David got a call from some lady saying that Von’s had messed up and rang her groceries up on Jodi’s debit card. David asked Jodi if she had her receipt and of course she didn’t. Vons had told the lady that they were going to have to re-ring up her groceries and she got pissed off at them and said forget it, but she did get the name off the debit card and did some research and found David and Jodi’s phone number and called them to tell them what had happened. Jodi called Von’s and they said she would have to come down to the store to get it all cleared up. She went down there and had asked why they didn’t take the ladies groceries off her debit card and they said they couldn’t do it unless she (Jodi) was there. Then she asked why hadn’t they called her about this mishap, and they said they didn’t have any info on her. She said she had used her Von’s ID Code and she filled out all the info on her to even get that card. They manager had no excuse for that one, I believe. Sorry, I’m getting old and can’t remember the whole story, but Jodi did get the credit back but the whole thing was just stupid. Thank goodness that stranger took the time to call them otherwise they may not have known, the way prices going up on groceries these days. Anyway, while Dave and I were in Bishop we stopped at Vons to get a couple things, Dave used his credit card and the checker was bagging everything up and then handed us the bags and said Thank You. I said to Dave did you get a receipt, and the checker said YES he had given him one. As we were walking away, I’m looking in our bags for the receipt when the checker all of a sudden calls us back. The person behind us only a couple items and had rung their stuff on our credit card. The only reason they caught it was because after ringing up the two items and hitting the total button the total was too high for those two items, NO DUH! The checker said he was so embarrassed and was very sorry, and then he took the items off our bill then gave us our receipt. What are the odds of that happening to 2 Alton’s in a month, so buyer beware, always make sure you get your receipt.

Went the other day and saw Ironman, pretty good movie until the end, the fighting between Ironman and who ever Jeff Bridges was playing was a little corny.
