Ranting Time

I get to thinking about an idea for something to blog about so I pull up the trusty Google search engine to help me get there quickly. It finds just what I was looking for so I click on it and where does it take me? To some page that wants to sell me something. Disgusted I hit the "back" button and the page just stays there. Then I have to pull down Google and click on it again to start over hoping for better luck the next time.

What is it with the way people price stuff in this country? Since day one when gasoline was available for sale it has always been a certain price and 9/10 of a cent. So instead of $2.99 9/10 you should be thinking $3.00. The other one that gets me is the psycological pricing that makes you think something is less than it really is. Like $499.95. You might as well think $500. It might draw others to their door but not Odie.


I know I should just go with the flow and not let these things bother me but I am afraid they do and that is just me.
