Gary and Dogs at Willow Lake

We took a hike at Willow Lake this afternoon. A nice outing. The top photo is Gary with the rat terriers Stacy, Lacy, and Suzie. The next photo is a handmade (with Photoshop) HDR image from 2 iPhone photos of a trail at Willow Lake.

thanksgiving

It’s Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. Gary’s sister and her son are coming to Prescott from the Phoenix area to spend the day with us. Dogs have “promised” to be on their best behavior, I have offered them a bribe reward of a piece of turkey.

On this Thanksgiving I am thankful for Gary, our families, the dogs, friends, my retirement, and of course our health. We had a close friend pass away this year who is my age, and that has made me thankful that Gary and I are healthy.

Wishing all of my readers out there a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

And please, don’t shop on Thanksgiving day. If we don’t, the stores will not be open and force employees to work on the holiday.

OtterBox Honored an Expired Warranty

iPhone case, OtterBox warranty

otter4blogI just had a good experience with OtterBox who honored a warranty that expired a few weeks ago. I have an OtterBox case for my iPhone (and Gary has one for his phone and iPad too) and the belt clip part snapped in two. When I bought the case at BestBuy  just over a year ago the salesman told me the case was guaranteed for life – apparently this was not so. Anyway, I found OtterBox’s web site and made a warranty claim. The process is rather sophisticated, you select your phone and it shows you the various cases they have for it, you select yours, then it generates a pdf file which is a template. You put the sections of your case on the designated areas of the template, fill in some id info and sign it, then use their web site to upload it as part of your warranty claim. The customer service department said they will replace the belt clip portion of my case for at no charge. Way to go OtterBox!

Gary Photographing Cooper's Hawk

Gary photographing a Cooper’s hawk in our front yard. It clearly is not too afraid of people. These hawks eat other birds, preferring doves. They hunt around our house because our bird seed feeders attract their prey.

javelina, prescott az, wildlife

It is unusual to see Javelina during daylight hours. This morning three of them visited our area.

Here are 2 at our neighbor’s home.
