Buy 3 Get 1 Free

Customer: So what’s the deal with these photos?
Me: These are buy 3 and then you get the 4th one free.
Customer: So if I buy 2, I get a free one?
Me: When you buy 3, you get the next one free.
Customer: Oh! Ok!
Yeah….it’s amazing how some of the people here just simply don’t listen to what I say, and then how many times I have to explain myself in different ways just to convey one simple thing. Another amazing thing is how some people will complain and make an awful face when I say the photos are $19.95 each, but then other people will throw down $400 or $500 without blinking and buy tons of photos.
Apparently one of the other cruise ships that makes port here in Juneau was 3 hours late getting in to port today…..because there was a dead whale stuck to the bow of the ship. I saw a photo of it in the newspaper. So weird. I’m not really sure why it slowed the ship down, or how it got stuck or anything. All I know is some whale decided to die right under the Sapphire Princess.

Hi, Ian, my what wonderful pictures you have taken. I especially like #346; I’ve never seen such a gorgeous blue. I also like the whales and eagles. Are the red and white hings in #s44 & 45 toadstools, mushrooms or what. They look fake. Picture #39 has more beautiful shades of blue. What is the significance of #37 – the tall trees, and what are the white patches on them? It sounds like you have some interesting choices to make; I’ll be praying that you make the choices that are His will for you. You are having such a good time, Ian, and I’m so glad for you. God bless you, Honey

Sounds like this whale was maybe the cruise ship version of Paul(?), your plastic lizard.

Stephanie and I gave you plenty of practice with having to explain things. The ‘Oh, I get it now.’ happened a few times in our conversations.
You’re welcome!
