Now I'm giving consideration to what cigar I might smoke on the way home. Perhaps an RP Decade Cameroon?

Like those!  good morning Tony and all!

Morning Sam. 

[ss2]

Working from home today to receive another delivery for the kitchen.  have an AB Family Blend, coffee & laptop on the deck at the moment.  balmy 80 deg with about 90% humidity.  dialed into the work scene and already dealing with crises.

We've been dealing with Lowes for the big stuff, and while they have decent products, and good prices,  getting the stuff actually to your door intact seems to be just beyond their reach.  we are on our 3rd stove delivery.  not THIS particular delivery, after the last stove delivery went bust with a damaged appliance, I called the manager and re-raised the roof (not the 1st time on this project) so he agreed to bring me a stove to use while they actually figure out how to get an undamaged one to me.  Wait until they get my bill for all of the dinners we had to order out and the time we have both spent waiting for them to bring damaged appliances to us.

Another solid choice. How far is the walk to the bus stop?

Today, I ran it in 15 minutes because I didn't want to be late for a meeting with my colleagues in The Hague. A leisurely stroll takes about 35 minutes. When I smoke, I take a circuitous route and it therefore varies depending on how long it takes for me to finish. On average, it's a 25 minute walk.

Morning Dave and Tony.  Sorry to hear about the soft and spongy stick.  Hate when that happens.

Gotcha. Helps to have all that eye candy around, I imagine.

True customer service is becoming a lost art. A lot of companies these days think customer service means just having people available. They forget about actually having the ability and training to service customers.

I agree, but I see the real problem as this is the "normal" state of affairs in 2018 USA.  and to sound like the old man that I am, things 20 years ago in the manufacturing/shipping world, while flawed, was still better then they are now.

It sure does. But I probably could have made it here in 10 minutes this morning without all the distractions.
