It was a busy weekend in Toronto. The second “First Saturday” drew a large group of people, followed by the Annual Toronto Alumni Banquet and business meeting. It is so good to see all the people in town, milling around Main Street.
There were quite a few yard/garage sales going on Saturday also. It was a beautiful day to be outside, regardless of what you were doing. Area farmers were busy, you could hear the hum of the equipment as they harvested.
Customer service has been around for quite awhile, but do you know when the first recorded customer complaint was?
We offer our sympathy to the families of Marilyn Jones and Don Rogers who passed away recently. We offer our sympathy
to all others who lost loved ones this past week. May they all rest in peace.
Marilyn Jones’ family is having a graveside service for her on Saturday at the Neal Cemetery at 2 p.m.
Hello to all in area nursing and assisted living facilities. Hello also to all in area hospitals and rehab centers.
It’s a cool Monday morning as I sit and type this column. Having a terrible time trying to stay awake. Both dogs are sound asleep and Wade is watching videos on Facebook. Cool mornings are great for sleeping in, which I don’t get to do now that we have a puppy!
Answer: The first recorded customer complaint was in 1750 BCE. The grievance was etched into a tablet that was rediscovered during excavations
of the Sumerian city-state Ur in the early 20th century. The tablet was written by Nanni, a dissatisfied customer who was mad at a copper merchant named Ea-nasir. In the complaint, Nanni expressed dismay over the quality of copper they received, accusing the trader of poor treatment and demanding money back.
I was reading an email the other day and this is “National Leave the Leaves Month” it is to remind people that while some may see fallen leaves as an eyesore, they are essential to our butterflies and moths.
Many insects use the leaves as homes or for places to lay their eggs. Papua and larvae grow nestled in leaves. So leave your leaves. Rake them gently and place around trees. Do not use a leaf blower, they can knock the larvae off the leaves and then they'll die.
Butterflies are essential pollinators as well as honey bees and we need to do all we can to ensure they survive.
