Unlike my dealing with BlockBuster last week I had an awesome customer service experience today.

I stopped at Bosley's to get some food for Yoshi. I found the kind of food that I wanted, but they only had the 15 pound bag. I grabbed one and took it to the front counter and asked if they had any larger bags in the back.

The clerk poked around a bit then when she came out she grabbed another 15 pound bag. She apologized for not having any 30 pound bags in stock, then offered two 15 pounders for the price of a 30 pound. Sold!

This actually allowed me to refresh the food bag we have in our earthquake kit, so that was an added bonus.

After we moved into our new house, we had an electrician come by and wire in some smoke detectors. The one in the basement is a combo smoke/CO₂ detector.

Yesterday we had an opportunity to test them in the most glorious manner. Sox was blow drying her hair, and I think some dust dislodged from inside the dryer, hit the heating coil and burned. The downstairs smoke detector went off and started beeping. Then I head it talking "Fire .... fire". The next thing that happened was the upstairs one went off as well. The two detectors are linked together. Cool!

Unfortunately for Yoshi he hates loud noises. Unfortunately for me the front door was open and he bolted. When I next saw him he was heading down the sidewalk away from the house, two houses down.
