Protect California's Bag Ban From Out-of-State Interests
The California State Legislature became the first in the nation to approve a plastic bag ban in August of 2014, and on September 30, 2014, Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law.
Before the ink even dried, the plastic bag industry filed a referendum to repeal the law. Paid signature gatherers collected signatures across the state in the last months of 2014. Field reports indicated that these signature gatherers used any means necessary to get signatures, from begging to outright lies.
In late February 2015, the Secretary of State reported that the bag ban referendum had qualified and would appear on the November 2016 ballot. Supporters of the nation's first statewide bag ban should uphold SB 270 by voting 'yes'.
Plastic bag manufacturers are desperate to stop the bag ban! According to the Secretary of State, the industry has already spent more than $3 million in this effort, with 98% of the money coming from out-of-state interests.

Winter gardening?
I don't think this is what they mean by "planting for winter interest. . ."
Yesterday I found some pea plant volunteers that had sprouted from some plants that that the deer had trashed. I have never had peas sprout near Thanksgiving in Minnesota! An entry in my mother's diary said that she had pansies blooming December 7th and she had gone barefoot outside (again Minnesota). This must have been in the 60's.
What's still blooming for you?
Happy Thanksgiving!
It is incredibly amazing that we have anything at all blooming in our gardens at the end of November. It's just unheard of here. You have piqued my curiosity it's dark now but I am going to run through my garden tomorrow morning to see if I have anything bloom also.
I am excited to report that I took 100+ various rose cuttings the first week in October and got them all planted up in big storage tubs on October 31st. To my great surprise I have almost every one of them growing and a few of them that sent little buds and will be blooming soon if I don't pinch the buds off. I love it...
Great post Hoghaven! Hopefully this year we will get a little snow. We have not had any reliable snowfall for so many years.
Happy Thanksgiving all!
Pansies, snapdragons, and a Rondo penstemon...oh and weeds :-0 Happy Thanksgiving to all, I am thankful for the wonderful garden season we had this year!
I've got "Snow Crystals" alyssum, quite a few snapdragons and Johnny Jump-ups, one white petunia, and one last dianthus bloom.
I'm really hoping for adequate snow cover this winter. But, all in all, this was a pretty satisfying gardening season despite the drought. I don't do a lot of supplemental watering and things did quite well.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
We did have an unusual year. My stuff is done. The blooms are all spent. It looks real sad, the asters and mums are finito. I went out and covered the mums, and the "Heaven's Gate Coreopsis", finished up the clean-up, and put garden accents away for the season. It's kinda sad, but then we have time to plan some for the next season. I'm anxious to see the stuff I planted this year, what it will be like in the next season. I planted alot of new things, so I'm looking foward to seeing all of it.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Here's an article that was in the Duluth-Superior News Tribune this weekend. Sorry, I couldn't find a picture link. BTW, Finland, MN is way up north between Duluth and Grand Marais.
* * *
"Marsh marigolds in November?
Evelyn DeShaw of Finland e-mailed to say she saw marsh marigolds blooming in a drainage ditch Nov. 17 near Finland.
"They were still blooming yesterday [Nov. 18]," she said on the phone on Monday.
DeShaw sent along a photo to document her sighting.
Marsh marigolds typically bloom in late May or early June in the Finland area, DeShaw said. She canÂt figure out why these chose to bloom again in November. Some work was done on the road in that area, she said, and she suspected perhaps the road work opened a spring that provides warmer water to the drainage ditch.
"Or maybe it has to do with the rain situation," she said. "Everything was so dry [during the summer], and everything went into dormancy."
Not necessarily, said Welby Smith, a botanist with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in St. Paul.
"It does happen," he said. "There are a number of early spring flowering plants  violets and occasionally marsh marigolds  which will occasionally flower in autumn as well as in spring. Usually itÂs just one or two aberrant individuals. IÂm not sure anyone knows exactly why."
Smith said the DNR gets calls once every couple of years about the phenomenon."

Proteas team manager says senior players won't be rested for Kiwis series
Johannesburg, Dec 4(ANI): South Africa won't be resting on their laurels in the upcoming Test series against New Zealand following a stunning 309-run victory over Australia in Perth on Monday to cement their spot atop the ICC Test ranking, according to team manager Mohammed Moosajee.
The Proteas will now come up against lowly New Zealand in ODIs, Tests and T20s over the festive period.
The Kiwis are ranked at No 8 in Test match cricket only ahead of fellow strugglers Bangladesh, which could leave many to call for a few key players to be rested for the series, especially with a tougher series against Pakistan to follow in February.
However, Moosajee assured fans they wouldn't be taking things lightly in the two Tests against the Kiwis.
"Everyone wants to be part of the Tests. And we also don't want to take our feet off the pedal now," Sports24 quoted Moosajee, as saying to a website.
According to Moosajee, the players could be given a chance to rest in the ODIs and T20s, and revealed the only injury concern is that of Jacques Kallis.
Kallis suffered a hamstring injury in the second Test against Australia in Adelaide which preventing him from bowling for the remainder of the series and will be rested over the next few weeks.
Apart from a warm-up game in Pietermaritzburg, New Zealand start their clashes against South Africa with three T20 internationals on 21,23 and 26 December, followed by two Tests (2-6 January and 11-15 January) and three one-day internationals (January 19,22 and 25). (ANI)

Carlos Tevez delighted at finally returning to Argentina starting XI
Carlos Tevez said he was "overjoyed" at making his first start for Argentina in almost four years in the 2-0 friendly win against El Salvador on Saturday.
Tevez, who was fielded up front alongside Gonzalo Higuain by Gerardo Martino, was left in the international wilderness by former boss Alejandro Sabella.
However, following Martino's appointment last summer, the Juventus forward made his first appearance since 2011's Copa America from off the bench against Croatia in November, before starting in...

Vegetable garden newbie in northern NM needs advice!
I am a complete newbie to the idea of vegetable gardening, especially in a high desert climate like northern NM. But I have a small region of my lot (~30 ft x 20 ft) that I can't manage to get grama grass to take on (the weeds just keep taking over), so instead of my usual rototilling and replanting grama with little success, I thought I would try something different.
So here are my growing conditions:
-The area is just to the east of my wood fence and gets what I would estimate to be 8-10 hours of full sun per day.
-A water spicket is right there. The soil appears to drain well.
-Our moronic neighbors had a landscaper put down black dirt for them a few years ago that washed into our yard a few weeks later. It was completely laden with weed seeds and our lot has never recovered.
-The Cerro Grande fire came right through my lot 7 years ago. I don't know how much of the organic material has recovered, but with how well the weeds grow back there I have to believe the amount of organics nonzero.
-When I was intending this to just be a xeric meadow, I planted a few flame maple trees back there. They are doing reasonably fine, but are still small. Any long-term plans need to take that potentially-increasing shade into account (although they really don't provide any right now...they are about 1 inch in diameter at the trunk).
-When I planted those trees, I found that the soil turned to pseudo-rock about 1.5-2 feet down ("pseudo" implying I could still break it with a pick axe or bar).
I would really like to avoid having to bring in how much dirt/manure it would require to do this whole area as raised beds. Do you think this is reasonable?
Also, any recommendations on how to proceed such as soil modifications/enhancements, recommended vegetables, etc. would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!
Hi CJ,
I created a food garden in similar conditions two years ago with great results, and thought I'd share what I did...
To begin I dug out the area (I chose a circle about 15 feet in diameter for the garden), and like you, I hit impossibly hard substrate less than a foot down. I mixed the loosened top layer of soil with a few bags of topsoil, manure, and some of the organic material under salvaged dead pinyon pines. I then fenced the area in, of course, mulched like crazy with straw, and hooked up some hose from my washing machine to give it graywater (not actually supposed to be used for vegetable gardening, but that's ridiculous unless you're washing soiled diapers). With that thick layer of straw, all the necessary moisture is retained between laundry loads (using appropriate biodegradable detergent only of course), and any plants that cannot grow up through the straw from seed are started indoors, hardened off, and transplanted into the garden.
I would discourage raised beds anyway, as they don't benefit from the moisture-retentive and temperature-mediating properties of the ground. Also, rainwater cannot flow into a raised bed, only out of it. Sunken basins are much more appropriate for this climate (check out the book "Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands" by Brad Lancaster, which goes into detail about this, as well as has a chapter on ancient Native American gardening methods).
So, my three tips for gardening here would be:
1. Keep it small, this allows much more control over every part of the process, increasing yields.
2. Mulch like crazy... Oh, did I mention I have never had to pull weeds from my garden?
3. Pay attention to the weather and animals to minimize plant losses.
Good luck to you!
I live in Mesilla New Mexico and am starting my verey first veggie garden. My husband made me these wonderful raised beds from wooden planks. I filled them with top soil, compost and garden soil. I am wondering if this will sufice. If i capture the rainwater in barrels to use n my garden will this help with nutrients? What exactly is "gray water"?
I have planted the following...
chilis (of course)
sweet corn
green, yellow and red bell peppers
anything specific i need to know?

More from Lou
I sure wish I could figure out how to post more than one!
This is looking in from the front. I have the tops of the arbors done, now I've got to get the husband working on the gates. Their going to be oramental iron. And I need to build a walk of some sort to the driveway. And last but not least, I've got to build window boxes, last summer the geraniums got so big, they fell off the shelves.
Enchanting. I love your picket fence, too. Thank you for posting all of these lovely photos.
I too love how you mixed the brick-work with river stones (or beach stones?). Very "Cottagey". The paths, your arbors and flowers are just lovely. I wish I could take a stroll and peruse all your flowers and structures.
I really like the beds along the outside of the picket fence. Very traditional and charming.
And you photos of everything are excellent and very artistic. You've created a lovely Cottage Garden.
Congratulations on a lot of work well done.
Lou - Nice garden! It really complements your house well.
In order to post more than one photo at a time you first have to upload your pictures to a photo hosting website like Picasaweb (which I use) or Photobucket to name a couple. Then you click on the photo, find the code to embed (not link) the photo and do a copy & paste of the code into your post for as many photos as you want. I usually post a medium large size, but you have several choices of how big the photo will appear.
For more detail there's a good FAQ on posting photos (from before there was the single photo upload option at the top of each post or followup) on the New England forum, linked below.
Here is a link that might be useful: How to post photos FAQ
Wow Kosta! Wish I could get bricks that cheap. we buy them at the auction for my veg garden and I used them in the cottage garden, but their hard to come by cheap! We do touch ups on the fence. The worst spot has been where it had been painted in 100 degree sun. It was also coming off in sheets. We use an oil base primer because the wood is cedar.
I want to go to house recycle center they have in Cedar Rapids Iowa. Lot of porch posts. Many houses going down-big flood in 08. 20 feet over flood stage in some places. We got bricks after -they did street work.
Thanks for telling me, Lou. Darn! I'm familiar with perennial geraniums, but didn't recognize it as such. They ARE bullies and will take over your entire garden if given the chance! Beautiful when in flower, but afterwards, it almost seems like a waste of time to simply cut out the flowering stalks because the rest of the leaves start looking ragged and ugly, too. I've decided I'm going to start taking the drastic approach of shearing the whole thing down to an inch or so after flowering. By the fall it will look good again and the leaves put on a lovely red display.

As I've mentioned wholeheartedly throughout the thread...the Eng lacks team synergy. I've agreed on that point in multiple threads discussing Engineers.
2 Tac/3 Sci or even 3 Tac/2 Sci.
You've got SNB created gaps...which won't last long...so you need the spike from Tac on the controlled target.
The Eng can't SNB.
The Eng can't spike that target.
The Eng doesn't fit in well with the team environment.
What about healing? Yeah, it's called crosshealing. You're going to have it from your Sci and even the Tac can help out there. The Eng isn't needed for that. The Eng doesn't have anything that boosts healing abilities for others...hull healing with EFleet, but yeah - folks prefer the shield healing from SFleet.
So you understand that eng has nothing to look for in both teamwork pvp and 1vs1 pvp.
That's an improvement..
Now start to look for viable solutions..

Speaking of beetles...
A couple of weeks ago, we found a HUGE beetle in the house. I've never seen this beetle before. Perhaps someone knows what it is. I didn't fool around with getting a picture as getting it out of the house was the first priority.
I caught it with an upright type kleenax box so it had to be smaller than the cutout but I don't think a lot smaller. It might have been the size of my pinky. It's shell was shiny greyish tan with small black spots the size of paint splatter. Not a lot of spots. It was full, high and round in shape I guess like a ladybug but proportionately bigger - big enough to cause all my kids to scream. Any ideas?
I am going to guess that it is something that might live in the trees because here on the ground it would have been noticed.
probably not your bug, but we have a small invasion of these wasps on steroids (size of my pinky), they actually dig into the grass/ground and make a hole (home?) and there are hills of dirt around the hole from the dirt they dug out (think large ant holes)and they've been getting into the garage. they are black and yellow. Yesterday I was cutting the grass and stopped to push bricks and debri out of the way, I noticed I had pushed a brick across one of those holes and rather flattened it up or closed it off. A while later, while working in the same area, I heard something hovering near my head, turned to see the wasp on steroids coming in for a landing with a cicada bigger than him strapped under his legs!! I called the kids out for this one. He dropped his cicada breakfast, walked over to his hole and figured out it was unfixable. So he goes back to his cicada, straps it back under his legs and attempts to lift off, but only gets a couple inches off the ground before falling again. He keeps at this getting several inches at best, never letting go of the cicada. Then, there is the large flat paver type brick laying on an angle like a ramp, and he walks over to it, runs up it and at the edge he attempts his take off! He fails but would you believe he goes back to the bottom of the paver and does it again and again, until finally, after 5 minutes, he gets good air and takes off into the sky with this cicada still strapped to his underside! well, my daughter and I followed its course and he wound up landing atop a very tall weeping willow tree! Not lady bug in shape but pretty freaky and cool!
karen64, we have those things here, too. They're "cicada-killers". They fly around at low altitudes but they don't seem to bother people. They drag their cicada's into the tunnel and use it for food - for themselves or their babies, not sure which. Their holes can really mess up a lawn.
I've seen these wasps over the weekend too so that answers another question I was going to search. They hang out in the tree we sit under when I bring my kids swimming. Huge! Gave my sister in law a jump. Fortunately this link says they aren't quick to sting. I have a growing population this year of the next wasp listed - the bald faced hornet,another new one for me. I did see one last year. They are loving my hydrangeas and sweetshrub.
Here is a link that might be useful: cicada killer
Found one tonight. Its a grapevine beetle. Looks like a giant June bug. Kids thought it was awesome! Check it out at http://scienceblogs.com/photosynthesis/Pelidnota3.jpg

Need help with thinset, grrr
Man, will I ever be able to do anything on my own? Really I am so frustrated right now, it's not funny. So this aft, I set out to start working on a bowling ball using thinset for the 1st time. I was sticking half marbles on it but they kept falling. Could you look at my pictures, and tell me whether the consistency was good? It seemed like PB to me but who knows. Also I find it hard to know how much to put on because when you put the tessarae on it, it swooshes and wouldn't leave any room for grout.
Also does anyone have a "recipe" for thinset. I am using Mapei Ultraflex 2 (has polymer in it) and the bag has the instr. for 50 lbs only. I started with water in a container and kept adding the thinset to it until the consistency seemed right. With approx 3 or 3.5 cups of water and look at the amount if gave me! I thought I would end up with just a little batch which is what I wanted. Anyhow, everyting ended up in the garbage! GRR...
Honest everyone, I am not normally a complainer, I wish there was a place around here where I could take lessons. You guys are the ones give me lessons.
So my questions are:
1. any recipe for a small-med batch of thinset
2. A way to know how much to put on (1/8 or 1/16 doesn't tell me much)
3. Why were the marbles on the bowling ball falling.
(sure made be lose my marbles...)
4. How to prevent "swooshing" between tessarae.
href="http://s718.photobucket.com/albums/ww184/charmo_photo/?action=view¤t=DSCF0004.jpg" target="_blank">
I just saw your post on another forum and I understand your frustration. I haven't used thinset on a bowling ball, but I'm thinking from what I see and what I've mixed before that maybe it's too thin. Did you try a little of it thicker? About the seeping up between the half marbles, that might be solved that way too. Give it a try, and don't give up. Others will chime in on this too. It's good to have the friends here that have been playing with mosaic a long time.
Your consistancy is fine. It just doesn't have alot of immediate grab so you can only do the upper most sections and let it cure. Just put a little thinset in a dixie cup and stir in tsp of water at a time till you get that consistancy. try buttering it on the ball in sections to get a thinner application.
That all said, I'm not an advocate of thinset for BBs because I don't think it holds on to nonporous substrates very well. I would suggested GEII because thats the only bb that has endured the elemnts in my yard
I hate when that happens!
The only BB I did with thinset did the same thing, only after I finished it! One bump and all the tessy fell off.
I too prefer either GEII or Weldbond. I don't get alot of freezing weather here, so the weldbond holds up well.
so sorry sweetie, believe me it won't be the last time you get frustrated with mosaics, but the results are worth it.
My first BB was the penny one and I used clear Liquid Nails in the squeeze tube. GEII will work too. Your thinset is fine, but you certainly don't need that much. Like NT said, put some in a styro coffee cup or paper cup and add your water a little bit at a time, do not mix your dry thinset into water as you would plaster. If you are going to use this on a BB, take your sander or rough sandpaper and scuff the surface up a little. Good luck..and sorry you wasted so much thinset. I use a little bit at a time and keep it covered with a tile when I am not in it.
It takes time but you'll get it, keep trying. I use a yogurt cup. I put about 1/4 of thinset then add water a little a time (drops) til it's right. I stir with a popscile stick and even use the stick to apply it. Have lots of both with grandkids around. And I use a sanding pad on a grinder to rough my pieces up (faster and saves the fingers)...Later, Cathy
Emtnest, the first 2 BBs I made were with MacGlue and I thought thinset would be good because I taped some antennaes on this one, so I needed stuff to cover it up. I am also starting another one which I want to do as a face and I just patched a nose on it made of plaster and aluminum foil which I also taped on as well as 2 cup handles for the ears.
The next one I will make with only marbles, then I will try the GEII.
I wouldn't use thinset on a BB. GE silicone, LN or DAP will serve you much better! Also, you need to make sure your BB is absolutely cleaned of the oils they use on them - this takes a lot of soaking in Dawn or another grease remover and lots of scrubbing! A friend of mine actually leaves her BBs outside for months (and hopes for rain) and then soaks and scrubs them.

Hotels in Brazil
The selection of places to stay in Brazil is wide, from 5-star resorts to major chains and smaller accommodations. The largest hotels in Brazil are in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, but as you make your way further into the country's interior, you'll be faced with fewer upmarket choices.
One of the best Brazil hotels is the 5-star Copacabana Palace, which first opened in Rio in 1923. Located near the Southern Atlantic Ocean, this luxury hotel not only has beautiful views but is also in a convenient location for nightlife and shopping. Over in San Paulo, you'll find that the world's major chains have established themselves firmly in the greatest megalopolis in South America. The Sheraton, for instance, offers just what you'd expect: a great location, great service, and great food from its in-house restaurant. A little further off the beaten track, you'll find the Golden Park in Poços de Caldas, 5 miles from the airport and 162 miles from San Paulo. This hotel offers a bar, restaurant, pool, gym, sauna, and a tennis court, as well as Internet access. It's also wheelchair accessible.
High in the mountains of Vale dos Mellos, 160 miles northwest of São Paulo, sits a stone-and-glass lodge conceived to showcase the best of the country.
Offering the possibility of short-term rental of the entire house, the villa is perfect for small groups of up to 13 people seeking privacy, tranquillity, extra living space and very customized services.
23-floor contemporary business hotel on stylish Ipanema Beach with spacious rooms; a renovation of public spaces began in 2009.
Room to Book: One of the 37 Deluxe City View rooms that offer a partial beach view.
Portuguese architect Ana Catarina designed her own remote resort three hours south of Trancoso near a village that was without electricity until two years ago. The 57-acre coconut plantation had mostly mangroves and empty farmland as neighbors.
A one-bedroom chalet in the village of Trancoso, furnished with banana-fiber chairs and tatajuba-wood floors.
Boutique property on Leblon Beach, located within walking distance of some of the city's best restaurants.
You'll find one of the top wine lists in town at the Hyatt's 2,000-plus bottle library lounge. If it's views you're after, all 466 spacious rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows that look out onto the pastel-colored rooftops. Best for Pleasure-seeking business travelers.
Six of the nine guest cottages at this boutique hotel—pronounced oo-SHOO-ahh—in Trancoso, Brazil, are scattered around a garden shaded by towering jackfruit trees; the three best rooms face the square.
Opened in March 2008 by Jessy Greenhut and her husband Tsachi, the two named the property after the huge almond tree that shades its beachfront lounge. The hotel has a modest, earthy vibe, with a pumpkin patch and snall cabanas.
Entering the lobby from the famous Roberto Burle Marx-mosaic promenade, the Marina All Suites is a tall narrow building with 38 suites.

I presume by modem you mean a broadband router. A change of channel may help if one of your neighbours is using a wireless sound system or run the modem lead through a ferrite ring a couple of times.

Painting - Oil On Canvas
I am a painter of humans and portraits. Most of the time I have female models, and more seldom men - as this four, hunting for a motif again - and they where friendly and patient to sit for me in their time for a rest and having a cigarette.
I had to climb over some ladders to reach them in their place, but for me nothing is too uncomfortable and too high.
Some more men in my portfolio are celebrities, poloplayers, Ikarus and boys, please have a look.
Now I am living in Austria and Mexico, where I share the time. My hometown is Hamburg.
I want to invite you to my website www.dagmarhelbigart.com and also I want to thank you for your kind visit.

Rosa, how nice to see you!! Very often I am asked why I do not paint more men, but it is difficult to get a group together with enough patience and a little bit of acting-pose - so I have to look around in real-life and sometimes I have luck as with this four - they where sitting for me after work. The more I am happy now with your feedback, thank you so much and have a nice weekend, Dagmar

Here's My First Mason Bee Hive
So other than needing more tubes to fill it is there anything that you see I can improve on? I went to a mason bee seminar last weekend and he told me I may need to put something like panty hose over the front come June so that the predators can't get in.
looks better than mine lol mine is just one of those small mason been boxes that you can mount on fences or on he side of the house. might want to buy some mason bee atractant to ensure they find the nesting area. Make sure to put it in an area with morning sun so the bees can warm up and become active right when the sun comes up.
Here is a link that might be useful: TheItalian Garden
Would you call the box you have next to your sits next to your tubes the hatching box? I don't have the opportunity to go to a seminar but I've been reading up a lot on the topic. I purchased a bunch of tubes online. Just wondering if I should unfurl the tubes and pull all the little babies out to put in the nesting box like that. Not sure if that was discussed during your seminar.
Otherwise I think your setup looks great. Nice job repurposing the old birdfeeder too.

Covenant House outreach extends beyond vans.

"By heading to where the kids are, day or night, we let them know that they have other options – our day services, our shelters, our safe haven. They can see that they have options beyond survival sex, drugs, and other dangers of the street."

Great seats and fun section. Too bad Giants did not win and it was so cold but our view of the game could not have been better.

There was something amiss in the spirit of the Giants game last night. There were hits, but there were lots of errors. There was a homerun, but it was the other team's. Oh well, still nice to see baseball live. Warning though: steer clear of...continued

Rating your purchase experience
The dealer who sold me my Honda said I will be getting a call, asking me about my car buying experience. While I love the car, I was not crazy about the experience. My question is, will my opinion matter one way or the other?
VW did this (tried to, actually) with both of my purchases. The dealer made it very clear that "any mark less than a five [the top score] is a failure". Apparently things like car allocations, etc., are based in part on these scores.
I refused to take part in it. Giving them a five on every score seemingly confirms that the experience could not be improved upon and, while I didn't have a bad experience either time; I refuse to declare them perfect purchases. The first time I just scored as I saw it; the second I didn't even bother to return the call since they obviously did not get the message the first time.
Respond if you want to, but you can always politely decline ("Oops -- the sheriff is here. Gotta go.") :-)
SteveO, I think we agree on everything.
After I bought this house, I was getting survey after survey for the builder in the mail. Some of which actually had cash ($2 bills) in them! I wasn't so fond of the builder at that time so I wrote some strong opinions on the survey and mailed it back not filling in the bubbles with a #2 pencil. When my warranty ran out, I had a roof leak that cause some damage to the ceiling. It was out of warranty and didn't expect the builder to fix it but sure enough they sent out a drywall crew and roofer and it didn't cost me a dime. It was then that I wish I had some surveys to mail in. I don't think there's room for improvement in that department.
When I bought my last truck (a toyota), I had gone to several toyota dealers and I love toyos but their dealers are the worst. They seem to have an endless supply of customers with bad credit to take advantage of so when I wanted a good deal, they didn't even want to give me the time of day when I told them my credit is perfect. I had numerous bad experiences with toyoships. Such as a salesman actually showed me the front door and told me to have a nice day when I said I wasn't going to buy that very day.
Then I was going to give up and buy a domestic since they are much more accommodating and don't let you leave the dealership no matter how bad you want to. Out of the blue a salesman saw a form I filled out online from the one dealership I didn't go to. He called up and said there's only one truck in the country right now with the specs you want and it's not here (it was at a dealership I walked out of because they were a bunch of turds and didn't want to deal) but I'm going to go get it and come on by in an hour it will be here. An hour later I arrive and the truck I test drove a week earlier at the other dealership was sitting there in front of the dealership. The price we agreed to on the phone was honored without any games and the finance manager spent about 3 hours with me walking back and forth and negotiating until I was happy with the deal. That was exceptional service and I don't think it could have improved in any way but my expectations were pretty much set so low that all they had to do was what they were supposed to do (sell me a frecken car) and I would be happy. And I didn't get any surveys from them.
That salesman is no longer with the dealership. My lease ran out and didn't have time to dilly dally with this nonsense so I just bought it from the leasing company.
