right, right. Those and the real sturdy boxes that copy room paper comes in, with the nice lids. Those get thrown away. Uh-huh, right. And I am constantly scouting out the copy room for those boxes. That's exactly what I do. Those are perfect boxes to put files in. Uh-huh. They're good for storage and stuff like that. ...
Uh-huh, yeah. I think I'll have to try that. That's really cute. Yeah well, you know, it's cheaper than going and buying the kind at Target that are all ready with the little design on them or whatever. They're the exact same thing. That's all they are, they just made them look fancy. Uh-huh, yeah. You saved me some mo...
But ours are real hard to find. That's the one thing that really discourages me. I saved you know, I recycle paper, but they, it's almost like they don't want the paper, because they don't pay, at all, I mean, they're real hard to find the places that pay. And that's really discouraging. I mean, I just go ahead and tak...
and they have aluminum and newspaper and plastic and some other category, Uh-huh. I don't, maybe there's two for aluminum. And you don't get paid but it's real convenient just to chunk the newspapers in there. Well that's, that's good. Yeah. I, the one thing I don't like about the newspaper also is, uh, like at work we...
I don't know, of course, I don't know all that about recycling so, it probably is a hassle. Uh-huh. But I do get tired of having to separate paper, you know. Uh-huh. It gets to be, uh, I guess you have to make it a habit, I mean, you have to get so used to doing it that it's a habit. Right, right. And we had, uh, a wri...
and then they, And someone else isn't going to take the time to put it in two separate bags. Right, right, so they're, they're really, trying to start keeping an eye out for those, you know talking to the people again about, you know, separate them because that is discouraging when you, when you do that the It was hard...
bye. Bye. Okay Where to start. I haven't had that much, of course I just heard, but I haven't had that much time to think about it, either. I guess the, uh, biggest thing I find is the financial aspects, uh, particularly, the ability of people to access, you know, your financial records or, for example your credit, uh,...
and that is that some of the organizations sell their mailing lists which I think is a, is an invasion of privacy. Uh-huh. I agree Yes, I get some of these things in the mail that I wonder, where in the world did they get my address or where did they get my name And in fact, some of these things I get, some of these qu...
carpet cleaning I've had them for carpet cleaning, I've had them for, of course, for, you know, real estate investments Uh-huh. you know, you get, uh, please send in your, uh, you know, this particular card and you get, uh, a free trip or something along those lines. Right. And so, that, uh, that bothers me because I, ...
Now the address is the same you know, my, my office address Uh-huh. But they have one under, you know, my first name, James. They have one under my first name and initial middle initial, Uh-huh. then they have a, a third one under my, just my two initials. Uh-huh. And and I get mail here at home under each of those nam...
The last thing you want is a phone call unless it's, you know, something halfway enjoyable, but if it's a salesperson, it's just something you don't want to have to mess with. And, and I've gotten a lot of them lately, or I'll, sometimes I come home from work and there's a lot of hang ups on my answering machine and I'...
I actually during that period of time from, you know, usually from six o'clock or six thirty, whenever I get home, until eight or so, I will shut off the phone Uh-huh. and, uh, my daughter gets irate when I, when I do that because, you know, she's a teenager Uh-huh. Uh, oh. so she'll, you know, I might get an important...
And, uh, if I've had a lot of phone calls during the day when occasionally when we have, uh, like this past week, we have to do a lot of troubleshooting when the programmers have installed a new system, and, uh, phone rings like crazy and you come home and the last thing you want to do is have to answer the phone. And ...
Uh-huh. And so it's, you know, it makes it convenient. But at the office when I, you know, we can, uh, on our system, and I imagine on most systems you can just route it directly to the answering service. Yeah. Ours is that way, too. And when I, when I want to be, you know, not bothered during the day, that's exactly w...
and, Yeah, that's what we have. Except we call it Aspen. Aspen? Yes. Huh And, uh, we, I couldn't remember in Tigon had purchased G T E phone mail services or if G T E had purchased Tigon . I knew there was some type of a tie in there. I remember reading in the paper a few months back but, Yeah, G T E purchased Tigon . ...
Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, Dana, I think we have probably conversed long enough. I think we did, Well, that's good All right. I didn't think we could go too far on this privacy thing, but, uh, I guess it's close enough well thank you for calling. I I, I enjoyed talking to you. Sure, good talking to you, Jim. All right. Bye-bye....
Applied at all. So, I, how do you feel that it should be applied? Well, I I just feel like there's a lot of murderers and rapists, and everything else, just walking the streets. You know? And that, that, the penalty ought to be out there, and be enforced? Yes. Yes. Not getting paroled, let's say in so many, years. Yeah...
Uh-huh. and they get a slap on the wrist. They get, thirty days in jail Yeah. Yeah. and they final get up to where they kill somebody else, and they go through fourteen appeals, and how many hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars. Uh-huh. That's right. That's, honestly right. And it's, Well, they certainly are livin...
he's just there to serve his time, and get back out on the street. And, and be paroled, and and have served the sentence, Yeah. that's what, that's what people face with that choice. One thing I really hate, is they don't explain to the jurors, in a, in a trial, in a capital murder trial, or in cases of rape, or in dif...
I'd like to see the death penalty more as a deterrent, I think people know that nobody, that it doesn't, you know, it's not a deterrent right now, because it's not really effective. Uh-huh. There's should be, you know, this, for this crime, this is the penalty. You killed, someone you know, in cold blood or whatever. U...
and they do the same thing over, and over, again, Same thing, Yes. then they put them back in jail, and they get out, and and more and more innocent people are hurt or killed Yes. Uh-huh. and these guys just are on the endless merry-go-round in the legal system. Uh-huh. And it's like I said at our expense. Uh, a lot ...
and nothing happens. And as far as the other states, I honestly don't know what their capital punishment is. You know, I, I, haven't kept up, you know, anything, like that. Yeah. I think I think Texas is Texas, the southern states seem to be somewhat more conservative and still have the death penalty, and I think, I kn...
Well, the jury that sentenced him, sentenced him to death Uh-huh. and then while he was on appeal on his thousandth and one appeal, the state of California revoked the law in the early seventies, and then they reinstated it later, but the penalty didn't go back. You know? Uh-huh. It seems like a lot of times the law is...
I, I don't know if they say it's the first time offense or whatever, but they give him a lighter sentence, thinking he's not a habitual criminal. Or, you know, plead insanity. Yeah, yeah. Well, To some extent if they would do something with some of those people. But that seems to be a good way to get off for a lot of t...
and it wasn't that way when I was younger. Uh-huh. Well, like I, said, I live in a small place. You know. We could go around, and, boy and, But, uh, even the small towns now though, has really changed from when I was a kid, but now I'm raising children. It it really is. Yes. Ever, you can't even, when I was a kid, I wo...
but I've enjoyed talking to you. Well, good talking to you too. Bye, Bye bye. okay. Bye-bye Okay, um, now the term personal computer, uh, I don't happen to have one at home. Um, but I do have a personal computer on my desk here. A type of work station? Yeah, uh, yeah, just kind of, it's kind of a kluge that was pieced ...
it's not even that. It's eighty eighty-eight? Uh, I think that's about where it is. Okay. Uh what type of, uh, utilizations do you make of it? Word processing obviously. Uh, yeah, I do that, I, I do, uh, some Lotus on it. Uh, do some, uh, Samna, some, uh, P F M, uh, nothing extremely complex. Okay. Uh, I use them both ...
Yep. Uh, for example, I was messing around with a spreadsheet this weekend that's a third of a meg in beta size. Wow. And that, I know that, uh, brings an eighty eighty-eight machine to its knees because I had taken it over from a friend who was working on it and he had a two eighty-six machine, Yep. and it brought it ...
Right. Have you been, uh, struggling along those lines? Well, um, I seem to always be in the, the next to the last generation of word processing software. When everyone was in Samna I was still in P F M, and now that I finally become proficient in Samna everybody's going to WordPerfect. So, I can never quite stay curre...
No, not really. I'm not that up be on that sort of thing. Well, it's just a huge file that tries to describe the requirements of what you're trying to build. Uh, to one level down from assistant description. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Okay. Oh, well, it sounds like you're pretty much into computers. Well, I sure need them. Uh...
I is, is that the newest thing now, the four eighty-six? Right. That, that must be a fairly recent release. Uh, that's, came out around the first of the year. Okay, okay. Because I, I had done capital packages for two eighty-sixes and three eighty-sixes, but I didn't know they had a four eighty-six just yet. It does a ...
and you have a good day. You do the same. Bye-bye. Bye. All Right. Ladies, first. Oh, no. Well, I don't find a lot of time to watch T V. And a lot of time, I find it during the day when, when I'm rocking my little girl to sleep, so I watch a lot of reruns, old shows, Like DICK VAN DYKE, all those old crazy shows. Yeah ...
I stay home with two kids. Yeah. My wife, we have a new one in the house and she stays home, too, also. Huh-uh. Um, I guess, I have a wide variety. I like watching the T V for things that are interesting, not so much the things that aren't, for example, like the COSBY SHOW to me is just kind of like a waste of my time,...
Yeah. Yeah. Um, now if I'm ever home during the, during the day on a vacation day, I have to catch at twelve o'clock the ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, because I usually, because he's just, he's one of my idles. And then, uh, but I don't know, it seems like nowadays everything is so electronic, you know, magnified and animated, t...
we don't have cable to the point of, of the H B O or any of that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, Well, I find myself watching just a whole lot of whatever is geared for children. Because, *two utts with two kids Huh-uh. and, you know, I don't want them watching something that I don't think they should watch or, I used to b...
So, Oh, goodness. Uh, now I, I don't know who the characters are, and, um, I'll turn it on every once in awhile and I don't recognize anybody, so I guess that's a good sign Yeah. Really. I used to watch, uh, I can recall, this might age me, date me here, uh, I can remember staying home, when I was five and six, and my ...
and I was like, oh, my gosh. Yeah, we used to, my mother watched all that stuff, too. And AS THE WORLD TURNS. I think AS THE WORLD TURNS may, still on or not. Still be on. It was not too long ago. Yeah. Now they got a lot of other crap involved. And so, Yeah. You're right. I think some of the tones of the, the daily pr...
We do, and it's real interesting, too, the difference in my kids, like um, my oldest loved SESAME STREET, And those kind of shows. Huh-uh. My younger one doesn't. She's more into WALT DISNEY kind, you know, we watch a lot of movies that we've got on V C, on tapes, and stuff. Huh-uh. She's more into the animated stuff, ...
I just got my in the mail *sp? mine and it inspired me to make more phone calls Oh, well, see I don't really. I've had a few people call me, but, I've never made one. Oh, really. Yeah. I need to get brave Yeah. Give them your pen number. *sp: pin Yeah. Yeah. That's what I need to do. Have a good day. Thanks. Bye-bye. B...
Mine, well, I imagine in Argentina you've got some great foods. Yeah, well, we got, um, a lot of, uh, European dishes. Uh-huh. We got, we got what some people call the best beef in the world. Yes. So it's, uh, Bishu like every Sunday you go out, and you buy all these parts of the cow, and then you just cook them over a...
I have to find a place around here that has that. Well, they have one in, uh, they have an Argentinean place down in Georgetown. So. Okay, I'll keep that in mind, yeah. Um. You serve that yourself, or the, for a family? Excuse me? You ever serve that yourself when you have company? Oh, no, well, see, the problem is, I'...
or do you have to, you don't, you don't go buy it from a wholesaler. No, but what happens is in Argentina they have like all these little places like the fruit stand, and, you know, the dairy, and products and whatever, Little butcher shops, yeah. *two utts and so. Yeah, I've lived in Mexico, so I know. And so they got...
the stuffed turnover. Right, meat turnovers. Oh, I love those, uh-huh. And, then we also put sausages on a bun, and then that's, that's to start out with. Yeah. And then what you have is also like, you know, like three different kinds of salad. Uh-huh. And uh, that's about it. Do you remember when you were in Washingto...
Yeah. Your parents might remember if they were here then. No, we were only there for two years. Okay. I mean, he was wonderful. We used to get the most marvelous impenadas and other Argentine things. Yeah. And, uh, what I, what I also eat now, since I graduate, I have an Italian roommate, and, Yeah, I'm Italian. Are yo...
and my mom, you know, like makes like what we call niokes and *sp:gnocchis all this stuff, that it's just, you know, everything like lasagna and everything. Uh-huh. Uh-huh, yeah. My grandparents, my grandfather came to the United States through Argentina. Oh, okay. This was around the turn of the century. Actually, act...
I mean, that sometimes Right. Yeah. *slash error should be 'b' well, if we're entertaining we'll do a Chinese recipe and, um, there are really easy recipe that is, you know, with Chinese you always have several dishes And nowadays with microwaves, you can steam many of the things in a microwave. Yeah. I don't know if y...
well like I buy like the fish so you can do it in the microwave the breaded fish, Uh-huh. and yeah, I've seen, you know, the filet. Yeah, buy a fresh filet of fish, a nice one at the fish the fish counter. What kind of fish? Um, any white fish. Sole is good, uh, um, flounder Okay. sole or flounder is real good. And eve...
Okay, because I got, I got, um, one of those little, uh, microwaves, the ones that take forever to boil a cup of water. Well, you see, just check it, you know, during, Yeah. And another quick dish if you like, um, do you know what hoi sin sauce is, *two utts? it's that sweet Chinese sauce? No, I don't. Well if you go i...
Okay. and that makes a great pork dish with a sort of a spicy sweet sauce, that you can serve over rice. Uh, how much, uh, how much pork do you buy for two people. Um, well, For two people, um, if it's American style, I buy a half a pound. If, you know, we, if you're just serving that, but if you're serving another dis...
Just stir that in and you've got a very colorful side, another dish. And how much does it cost? Um, the hoi sin sauce? Yeah. Oh, a dollar twenty-nine a can. Oh, okay. A can would serve you for, for, you know, for quite a few, um, meals, you know. Yeah. Okay, I thought it was maybe like, you know, like five fifty or som...
well listen, it was good talking with you. Same here. Hope you enjoy your recipe. All right. Thank you. Okay. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. It's, it's hard topic because is, is, is it doing a good job or a bad job and you got to divide it two different categories whether you live in the city or whether you live in a more rural pla...
actually I think that, I, higher level education, I don't think there's so much of a problem there. It's pretty much funded well. There are small colleges that I'm sure are struggling but, uh, it's the job that the, the high school and the grade schools are doing that I see, in a area like ours, our school, even a bad ...
Right. what we learned. Well, that was my experience going through junior high up there when I came down south for high school I was just repeating what I'd already done. Because we were so far advanced. Yeah. And, uh, you know, I'd been in a parochial school before junior high and, you know, even the public schools ar...
there's no reason that you should take college prep courses when you can get some general business courses in high school. Right. Or if you're going to go the science route you can go to a target school that specializes in science or art. You know, there's no point in, you know, I'm an engineering student and if I hav...
Yeah, I find that that the, that in the, in the cities, it's more like the kids go there so socialize not really to learn And, Right. and the parents send them there because they're supposed to, and plus it gets them out of their hair. And I also find that, that you can send a kid to school, but if don't work with them...
Yeah, that's true. I'm wondering with the boom down here. It's, well, not at the moment, but a lot of the industry's moving southward. Yeah, are they going to move to, uh Mexico? So, Uh, I don't know about that, but a lot of the industry up in, uh, you know, the northern states is moving south Uh-huh. and I'm wonderin...
Yeah. Because I know the town that I come from the, the, uh, the large I B M plant has something to do with the top rated high school because of their tax base for one and plus for, for the type of student that's going to that school, it's going to raise the level of the school because your parents are engineers or che...
her first grader, I don't see where she's going to have much time for them. So, I don't know. It's just like, I guess you just have to wonder, is it up to the, is it, you know, who, who's supposed to make the change, the, the state, the the federal government, you know, where's the money supposed to come from. Is it, y...
People are going, whoa. Yeah. So, Starts hitting closer to home. Yeah, but I always, see it's all, it's all money. This, like a couple other topics we had talked about was crime. It, it's, it's all money based. And what you can do unless you just get down to the parent level and, and then if you're in a bad situation w...
they're a lot more strict. Yeah I don't, You, uh, have to learn, you aren't given the chance to, you know, screw off all the time. Yeah, I don't know if I would do that to my child, though. But, so, pretty much, though, see, I don't have any good ideas or, or anything that would contribute. See, this isn't a subject th...
Well, but that's, I don't know, I think it just builds on the foundation that they've already built. You get people out of high schools and junior colleges that don't have the background for an M I T kind of curriculum. So, So you have to go to a lesser engineering school. We have a very good public school up here and ...
and sometimes doesn't really start doing that until the first part of April. So. So I think we're a little ahead of schedule on that. Yeah. Yeah, I was out in my yard yesterday afternoon, and I noticed all that grass coming up, and I thought, ooh, we've got to start this mowing bit soon That's true. It's been a, a fun ...
yeah. Yeah. In fact, I'm a little worried about this one coming up here. We have a long weekend and, it sounds like it's going to be a little bit on the cool side. Yeah. I haven't heard whether it's going to rain or not. I think there's an eighty percent chance this evening, but it's supposed to be cleared out at least...
but you're probably right. Yeah. Well, I like it when it's sort of a medium temperature, uh, maybe seventy-five to eighty, somewhere in there. I don't like it when it's too cool or too warm. I'm much more apt to get things done when it's at that sort of in between temperature. Yeah, that's true. Um, one of the remarkab...
but it was it was that sort of thing that we never like to see in the, the late spring time. Right. Yeah. One of the weirdest things I saw, I think it was around this time last year was a twenty-six degree lightening storm. Oh, wow. I, you know, I was going into the grocery store, and a, a lightening bolt was almost di...
I don't, don't like that super cold stuff. Nope. I just don't move very well when it's that cold. Yep, I, I'm really enjoying this now. Well, this has been interesting. Yeah, well. Not too challenging to the brain. Not, not a real in depth topic, but enjoyed talking to you. Nope. All right, Ellen, well you have a good ...
I've, uh, oh, just recently I got married and we bought a house. We're about fifty yards from the golf course Oh. but unfortunately the house is taking up my time. Yeah. So it's been, uh, it's been almost a year, I guess, since I've actually, uh, swung a club for a purpose. Yeah, I I haven't played in about two years, ...
Let's go around this tree, and you know, try a slice through a hook here, Right. and I can't do that so. Right. I finally got out, and I've been watching quite a few videos. I had not been able to play so I took out a few videos and watched them for a while, and I, I hope I'm on the right track. Yeah. Shot a career low...
and hopefully we can, uh, we can start in. Yeah, I've tried to get my wife, I bought her a set of clubs four years ago. She hasn't even swung them, but she wants to get into it now after I came home and won the tournament the other day, Really. she's she's ready to get off into it, Well, great, great. That's good, but,...
I don't ride so Uh-huh, yeah. you know, I get a little exercise there, too, so. That's, I've got the same attitude. I, uh, I tell you, I started, I guess, the first time I played golf has been probably about eight or ten years ago now, when I was in college. Yeah. And, uh, I took, uh, I took it as a P E course and then...
that's back in South Dakota where I grew up Oh. and, uh, so that, that's, uh, that's been my main, my main involvement, is it seems like I go home and play golf more than I do around here, but, uh eventually I get people to come and visit me in Dallas, Yeah. and then I'll show them we can play golf in the middle of win...
and now when I come out here I just kind of let it go, and then one, one of the guys mentioned to me at work one day if I played golf. And I said, Well, yeah, you know, I've got my clubs, but I haven't swung them in quite a few years. Uh-huh. And then I got into it and then back out of it, and it just seems like every ...
but. Right, and, and people don't want to play with somebody that they are going to beat every time, you know No. and, and, uh, And then, you know, we've got some guys here that they are, you know, four and five handicappers Uh-huh. and they don't like to play with me because I'm too slow for them, so. You know, but ge...
and they don't mind if you make a mistake, they don't mind saying, Well, you know, let me tell you how to do that or teach you how to do that, or, Well. You know, it's, it's pretty nice and friendly out there That, that's, that's so. and you can't find that in all sports. Yeah, that's absolutely right, and you can gain...
Uh, it runs from like five o'clock to seven thirty or eight o'clock, you know, because it doesn't get dark until nine thirty or ten. Uh-huh. Right. And we play in the summertime out here. We get a mixed league in, and that's what I'm trying to get her ready for. It's going to start, well, when we change time back whene...
she could care less about that. Yeah. She's does a little fishing, but, you know, golf would give her the exercise, she'd be outside, give her something to do that we both enjoy, so. Yeah, it, it sounds like we've got real similar situations. Yeah. I, I, I go home, uh, I've gone home every year now since I've moved to ...
Yeah, and it's, you know, it's a game that you don't, like bowling, you know, you feel bad if you bowl a hundred. But if you shoot a hundred in golf, you know, you don't have to be an expert to play, That's right. Any novice can pick up a club and learn how to hold one and learn how to do it and do it right. Uh-huh. So...
And when, you know when I first got back into it, I used to get mad because I knew I could do something and I didn't get it done. Uh-huh. You know, and I just, well, I need to slice this ball around here, I naturally slice anyway, now you know, the ball will go straight and I go Yeah. but, you know I'd get upset about ...
Okay, sounds like it. All right. See you later . Okay. Bye-bye. Bye. Well I haven't had too much of a chance to watch T V lately. Yeah. So probably everything I going to say is kind of dated. Well, I can understand that. It's that time of the year. Yeah. We just, my wife and I just recently moved into our house. So we'...
Uh-huh. Something that's going to keep mu up to date. I've kind of, kind of gotten away from, uh, being a series watcher, having to keep up to date with, uh, Oh, yeah. I think when you're in college you kind of, you have more of a regular schedule in terms of, you can watch every week. Uh-huh. Yeah, that makes a big di...
You feel kind of left out Right, right. But, um, right. I know, but I tell you what, um, we're really strict with our kids about television, and one night, couple weeks ago, it was just happened that we were exhausted and they wanted to watch, and we said okay, well we'll sit down and we'll, you know, look at what you ...
and the stuff that was on the prime, the networks, you know, A B C, N B C, C B S, was, it was just, um, dribble Yeah. you know, I mean, it wasn't even funny That's right. it wasn't creative, it, it was the worst I've seen. I mean, I have not watched prime time, week night T V, I guess in a real long time because I was ...
Uh-huh. the whole moral situation, everything, is just gone one whole complete direction different. And we don't have any kids yet, but I feel the same way. It's really tough to find something that's going to be good and interesting for the kids. Even, even cartoons, um Right. Oh. you know, you watch some of the cartoo...
yeah. But it's, just one of those things, you know, you have to shut your eyes or not listen or something, because those drive you crazy, if you're, if you're in the room. So, But it's such a shame, because it could be so good. That's right. I don't understand why, first of all, the public puts up with it. Second of al...
Why do you do this? Yeah. I know, I'm trying to think if there's anything I do, you, like, uh, I like stuff that's on Great Performances, and, I, we used to watch mystery quite a bit and things like that. Okay. Stuff I guess that mostly public, on public T V. Right. As a matter of fact, you know when I was a kid, excus...
Yeah, yeah. That's pretty good. Do you, do you watch sports on T V? Are you a sports fan? I can't handle it very long. Yeah I, I mean, I'm, I'm a sports fan, but it's, well, it's kind of, it's kind of like reading magazines any more. If half of the time wasn't spent watching commercials, it probably wouldn't be so bad....
But, uh, no, Uh. I don't sit down, I'll sit down for the big games, the Super Bowl, and the championship you know, things like that. Yeah. But I don't follow any team. Uh-huh. I check the scores the next morning, and I know how everybody's doing, and that suffices me. But, I like, I like good comedy, good humor once in...
There was a time there where I could tape things and then I'd fast forward through the commercials. Uh-huh. Saved a lot of time that way. Yeah, it works, you bet, yeah. But, that takes too much planning. Yeah, no, I don't know, if there's any, any series that I pay attention to, I try to watch CHEERS once in a while. N...
Oh I just got in from outside, so I Oh, okay. so I'm kind of out of it. Things like that, and I consider that fairly intelligent humor. You know. Yeah. Yeah. You can tell, they pick up the words every once in a while. Right, right. Isn't it such a long running program. Yeah. Yeah, they do have a good, they do have good...
Yeah, we try to stay up, too Yeah It's getting harder and harder. Ten years ago wasn't so hard to stay up. Yeah, you know, it was, it was just automatic, too, no matter where you were you stopped and sat down and watched it. I think it's come around again. It's gone through cycles. Yeah, it was, we stopped watching for...
That's right. That's right. But you can't be so, can't be outrageous. Right. You know, if you keep that same format. There's only so long that you can be outrageous. So, Yeah, that's for sure, that is for sure. Well, I guess there are a few things around still but, Yeah, but you have to hunt hard for them. Sounds like ...
good talking to you. Okay. Take care. You too. Bye. Bye. Okay, so what kind of cars are you looking at? Well, we've, uh, we've, we've test driven the Oldsmobile Delta Eighty-eight and a Cutlass Supreme and a used Cadillac, about three or four years old because, uh, I get married in a couple of weeks Uh-huh. Uh-huh. and...
that, uh, in addition to getting a new car there, they can get you a car that's new but it's been, uh, a demonstrator model for two or three thousand dollars even cheaper than the best deal they can give you for a new car. Oh, okay. Uh-huh. So, they call this program cars, and they come, with a new car warranty, and it...
Of course, they're fully loaded usually. Oh yeah. So it's, I think it's a pretty good option. Yeah, I think so too. Are the, uh, Oldsmobiles that you're looking at, are they the demos or they used, are they new Well, the ones that we were test driving were the, uh, were the new ones there. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Well now, uh...
Oh no Those things go fast. Uh-huh. Uh, of course we're not, we can't consider getting a brand new Cadillac, because those are twenty-five to thirty thousand dollars. Yeah. But when they're three years old they're, the price already drops in half. Uh-huh. So then it becomes, uh, more realistic. Right. That's what I'm t...
Well, you can reduce that risk by, uh, having the car checked out, I mean, you know, if you're going to look at fifty different cars you don't want to do this Uh-huh. but if you've narrowed it down to one or two you can have the car, uh, uh, checked at, uh, an independent service station and have them go through it fro...
yeah. Well, it's kind of hard for me to talk about buying cars because I just got mine paid off about a month ago, and I, Isn't that a good feeling. Yes, I don't want to think about buying a car for a while. I just want to enjoy not having any car payments for a while and enjoy watching my savings account get larger an...
I, I would think that's true. Could you hold on for just a moment? Sure. Okay. I'm on a cordless phone, and I was picking up, uh, some background noise, so I just switched the channel up on it. I didn't want to interfere with whatever they're trying to record. Right, right, that's fine. Anyway. But, uh, I really, I rea...
Well. Yeah. That's right. That's right. Because one of these days I'll be getting a six seater probably too. Eventually. So Yeah, the first two cars I ever bought, well, uh, uh, I've bought three cars, and I've always bought them new. Uh-huh. The first car I kept for thirteen and a half years and got a hundred and sixt...
Uh-huh. But, uh, my car is using two quarts of oil a week now. Oh my gosh About, about a quart every hundred miles. Oh, no. So, but, uh, it runs fine, all you it's just very thirsty. Yeah. If I just keep the oil in, it seems to be okay. But, you know, that's a sign that I'm going to have to do something sooner or later...
