Bought a senior bus pass for February. For $15, I can ride as many buses as I like. Didn't get one for Roy, because he prefers to ride his bicycle.
Took a bus to Circuit City to see about repairing the TV. It works fine in every way but one -- the display of volume, channel number, etc., no longer lights up. No big deal, but it would be nice to have it. We can't find the receipt, so we don't know if it's still under warranty or not. A very nice clerk spent quite a bit of time trying to find the record on the computer. She found Roy's name, address, and phone number, but no record of the television purchase. She asked one of the salesmen about the problem we're having. He said it was just a burned-out bulb, but we couldn't replace it ourselves; we'd have to take it to a shop. The customer service clerk gave me the card of a TV repairman who charges a lot less than Circuit City does.
I've really found the shopping centers now. All up and down University Boulevard are block after block of stores. Sears, Penney's, Mervyn's, Radio Shack, Albertson's, you name it. Circuit City's in the midst of them. I bought a few groceries at Albertson's, but their prices are too high for regular shopping. Guess I'll stick to Publix and Winn-Dixie.
Phoned a canvas and upholstery place. An estimator came out and gave Roy an estimate of $850 to make the awning. Roy talked him into $600, so he's going to make it for that.
