The battery tale . . .

When the temperature outside was cruising around 25° in the northern portion of the state, the silver Camry's battery gave up the fight for existence. With Tripple A's help, I took it to Mr. Roebuck's partner and bought a new one. The facility where I waited, while it was being installed, was not heated. Not.

Everyone in there was complaining about waiting in a deep freezer. With all that hot air, one would think it would warm up the place. Again, not.

Yesterday, in warmer parts, the gold Camry's battery died, the copycat. Again Mr Roebuck's partner was consulted. The words pro rata were spoken. The replacement battery turned out to be less than half the quoted price.

Honor thy guarantee. Not a commandment - just a suggestion. Heh . . .

The price of Gold was less than the price of Silver?

High-ho, Silver - Away!!!!

LOL! Pro rate is defined by the use of, "Lets met half way". A little taken from me, and a little more taken from you.

Silver was the battery that came with the car. Gold was a replacement from Sears. Next battery for silver? I expect that pro rata-ing thing again.
