Radio Shack And Watch Batteries
I'm increasingly disappointed in Radio Shack's stores. My latest irritation concerns watch batteries. I used to go in and buy a watch battery and some nice person who worked there would remove my old watch battery and replace it with the one I had just purchased in their store. Now when I go in they tell me they have no tools with which to open my watch. I'm sure it's some policy "thing", but I want to be plain in saying I dislike the policy very much. It was so nice not to have to fight to open the watch myself. I am fairly able-bodied, but I wonder about folks who are arthritic or have other physical limitations that make it almost impossible for them to open a watch and change the battery themselves.
If anyone knows of any national store chain that will still perform this service for paying customers I would love to know about them. I will happily help give them a little free publicity.

Where's Arno?
K-9 Officer Arno has been doing his duty for about two years, but right now his fellow officers are out looking for him. These dogs contribute immensely to the work of police in our communities. I hope Arno shows up soon, safe and sound. He works in Capitola, but his home is in Hollister, which is the area where he is believed to have disappeared. Maybe he's gone undercover and he'll sniff out a meth lab while he's out there.
