Sepia Scene

Should be a trivia question, but alas, I do those no more. Search engines ruined that game.

Where would this place be? It’s a perfect “sepia scene,” in its natural tones.

Part of that coast trip.

“They named the library after Bubba.”

For reals.

From one of my various feeds, this sales deal popped in.

The math, to me, is a little fuzzy, and I didn’t pursue it too much. Price starts at $7.79, coupon drops it to $6.70, then a sales receipt coupon offers a mail-in rebate for $6.79, and that’s a negative nine cents by my math. I was an English Major, what do I know about finance?

The question is the price, the effect, the energy spent to get that $0.09 ream of paper. Tremendous amount of energy to get a mailing address that will have good reason to receive computer, toner and paper ads, right?

Is the deal worth that much effort?

    Okay. I’ll go out on a limb here – Louisiana? Or was it Mississippi. Jeeze. I’ve seen that movie so many times, I should know it in my sleep.

    Once in a while I too run across a photo that is ready made for sepia scenes. You gotta love it when the natural image pops up just, well, naturally!

    Well, any benefactor for anything does seem to obtain naming rights (the cost of receiving the funds is a nickname is the name on the edifice). A small price to pay…

    Worth it? Hmmm…well, consider how much you are worth per hours, then 9 cents as a percentage of that amount…and drat, the whole calculaltion is a waste of time, let alone the effort to clip and save and submit.

    Mail -In rebates are my hobby. I have a collection of them. I plan on mailing them soon. Do those things have expiration dates? I always imagined the rebate office as a single person operation…send the forms in…she is bored! You didnt factor in the cost of the postage…English majors!
