Luxury Goods. Why you should be careful buying them abroad.

By -
I have talked about customs in a past blog, but it had more to do with movies.  I just wanted to send out a warning.  If you buy luxury items in China, keep the receipt if it is from a reputable company.  When you declare it, they will want to see it.  If it is like my visit, they will take it away no questions asked.  Well, maybe one:  Do you want to pay a fine or donate the items?  If you buy in a bargaining situation, be careful.  That is the stuff they are targeting.  More chances than not, it is a knockoff.  We just stay away from that kind of stuff.  It's not worth the hassle Customs will give you.

Crazy Chickens

 I'm sitting in my office at home.  All I can hear is the sound of chickens squawking. I think they are trying to encourage me to feed them.  I know when I go out, it will be like Ace Ventura and the animals flocking to him.  I do know they will squawk before laying an egg.  The roosters are non-stop with their calls!

I Feel Lost

By -
 This week, my phone died.  I could not believe it.  I was looking on it and it goes black.  I have my wife look at it.  She gets it to come back to life and updates it to the Icloud.  I start looking at it again.  Then, it dies again.  This time it is for good.  She called TMobile.  They wanted me to enter passwords.  I could not remember them.  They were on the phone.  Eventually, I used my Ipod to access something.  Because it was under a plan we have, I am able to get a new phone.  Only catch is is that it is the same model, Iphone 11.  If I wanted the newest phone, I would have to pay $300.  I went with the same model.  Now I just need to get it.  I find myself lost without my phone.

The Long Walk

 I took my daughters to see The Long Walk .  I read this stroy when I was a teen.  It did not disappoint.  The guys who Star in this movie did a really good job.  It is not the feel good movie of the year .  It does make you feel for everyone who dies.  If you get emotional, it will cause tears.
