Another Go Round With Arizona Propane

I was only on the phone today with the Arizona Propane person for about half an hour.  I called a different number - the second one listed on the invoices we have.  Still no sign of our account under the name(s), place of delivery, phone number, or invoice numbers.  "I'll have to research this and call you back."   No call back yet.  

Then I spent forty five minutes on the phone with an AT&T rep with an accent and lots of background noise behind him.  When we got new phones we changed carriers.  It was early in the billing period, so we should be seeing a credit.  The young man was helpful - after he understood what I wanted and I understood what he was trying to tell me.  He said he's made the adjustment and it will be on the next bill.  OK - we shall see.  

These kind of afternoons make me stress eat and my neck and shoulders tighten up.  

We had a minor crisis this morning - Roger's coffee pot died.  We had a small travel size Keurig and it was getting pretty old so it wasn't a real surprise, but Rog said the cup of tea he had this morning just didn't cut it. :-(    We made a trip to the Walmart and picked up a similar coffee maker in a different brand.  It's got a little smaller footprint on our limited counter space and should do the trick.    We finally looked at the odometer for the trip today - it's 13 miles to the nearest Walmart - past cotton fields, a mine of some sort, a landfill, and ranches.  Rog says he likes our isolation until he needs something and we have to go miles to get it.  

The shopping center area where the Walmart is located is right across the road from the Casa Grande National Monument which is an ancient people's "great house."  We haven't been in to see it this trip, but we did on one of our previous trips to Tucson.  There's not much left of it and they are trying hard to preserve what is left.  They have a nice museum there.  

We had a little bit of wind today but otherwise it was another nice day with temps in the high 70s/low 80s.  

Tomorrow morning early we go vote for our new Board of Directors.  This whole transition from developer/owner to a co-op is quite a learning experience.
