Here we are… already in week 32 of the year. Week 31 was interesting…
How well do you know your customers?
I started off the week with a Walmart grocery delivery. While that in itself isn’t worth mentioning, my item substitution made me snicker. I thought I’d try “hello” deodorant, and chose their coconut scent. Out of stock, Walmart chose to replace my choice with “Unicorn Tween” scent instead.
Even with tons of data compiled about how to sell to customers — they obviously pay zero attention when it comes to serving them. Wouldn’t you think with the advancements in technology they could figure out their long-time customer’s preferences? 🙄
Woofing on behalf chocolate labs from around the world, Dharma would like to congratulate Elsie.
A recent article on Indy Star told the story of devoted lab, Elsie, who stayed by her 80 year-old owner — a woman with dementia — for 3 days and 2 nights until they were found and rescued.
Upcoming for week 32 of 2024 and beyond…
Perry is back to work and I now have a whole lot of ground to gain. Oura ring has a cool feature that notes your cardiovascular age compared to your real age. Prior to Perry’s vacation, my cardiovascular age was 6-years YOUNGER than my true age. It’s currently 1-year OLDER than my true age, meaning I aged 7 years in 2 weeks! My new schedule begins tomorrow.
Will there be a presidential debate after all? Trump has agreed to debate on Fox on 9/3. My hope is that Harris will accept (she’s been asking for it!), and both candidates will focus less on insulting the other and more on their actual campaign promises. I’ve already heard the adjectives “weird” and “crazy” enough in the past month to last a lifetime.
And finally, there’s a new documentary that explores the security failures that led to the assassination attempt on former President Trump that’s worth a look. The fact that it’s produced by TMZ is concerning. Noticing that Harvey Levin is covered in sweat during interviews amplified my concern. Still, I found it interesting — even though it leaves viewers with more questions than answers. You can watch it on TubiTV — Under Fire: The Trump Assassination Attempt.
Now you know: The largest and most expensive animatronic Disney developed, the Yeti in “Expedition Everest,” is stuck in stationary mode as the cement supporting the Yeti isn’t perfect and Disney doesn’t want to risk the animatronic moving and falling on guests.
