Fender not so Bendered
I was sitting at a red light and was suddenly hit by a car from behind. I got out of my car… A little angrily, went to check the damage to my suv. Nothing. Nada. She hit the trailer hitch. Her car, not so lucky.
Thoughtful Horror!
Tyler picked up a stuffed animal for his sister while at Sea World. Nice brother right? But then Tommy got a hold of it…
To her it’s less Free Willey, more Jaws.
Tennis Amongst Giants
Tommy is 14 but got put into the 16-18 yo tennis league and has been doing pretty good. Last week he played a 17yo who was 6’6″. His teammates patted him on the back and we’re like, good luck! He lost 6-2; and lamented he couldn’t get any lobs over him. But regardless, it’s pretty good in my book.
Today we were out in Herriman. I think it’s so fun to watch your kids get better at sports over the years. He lost the match, but he just looks sooo close to getting there and has these awesome flashes of brilliance.
Fair Trade? More Like This Woman Was Swindled
Annalisa relayed this terrible story from a 60 year old lady who took a photography class from her. It was about another instructor who had swindled this lady out of an expensive piece of equipment.
The “student” had gone to a professional camera store and let the store outfit her with nice gear. Some time later she took a class to learn about her camera gear from some guy. He convinced her that her lens (that she had paid $2400 for) wasn’t as good as his lens and she’d want to “upgrade” to his lens sometime in the future. Then, he said he was looking to buy a lens because he needed a longer zoom and would be willing to sell his “old” lens to her, then it somehow changed to, I’m such a good guy, I’ll TRADE you my lens for yours. Trusting him, she made the trade.
When she later took the class from Annalisa. This lady pointed out during the class that Annalisa had the exact same lens in her bag (that specific lens had come free along with another lens with purchase of a camera body). This lady had been thinking something was wrong with the lens because the other one had taken such better photos! All along she had just been swindled.
It’s amazing how low some people will go for a buck.
