Boot Barn and Cutty's

Shortly after we arrived here in Jackson, Josie returned a pair of her flip-flops that she purchased at the Boot Barn last year. They were a Minnetonka shoe that she had only worn for about two months last year and were getting unusual wear on the bottom. The store indicated it would only take about two weeks for the company to evaluate the claim and either give a credit for a new pair or reject the claim and return the shoes. We finally heard back from the Boot Barn that the claim had been settled so we took a walk to the store yesterday to discuss the solution. After two months of evaluation, Minnetonka and Boot Barn issued a full credit for the shoes, plus shipping costs to return the worn pair and sales tax from the original purchase last year. We were satisfied with the outcome, but are disappointed that it took two months to reach this conclusion. Boot Barn issued a cash card in the total amount of almost $70 which Josie will use at some point to find a replacement. End of story.

There is a Bar and Grill called Cutty's that is not too far from us that is claiming to have the best Philly cheese steaks in the area. We are already fans of the New York Sub Shop in town where we go to satisfy our Philly cheese steak urge and like very much. We gave Cutty's a try yesterday before going to work. The place has a much better atmosphere and menu, but I would say that the cheese steaks, although very good, are not better than the New York Sub Shop. Cutty's uses white American cheese instead of provolone cheese unless you specifically ask for the provolone. Otherwise, the steaks are excellent and we feel that both locations offer better cheese steaks than any other place we have had them in our travels. Another reason to love this area.

I should be wrapping up my insurance search today and have final documents to complete before implementing the new policies. I'm doing one more search before pulling the trigger on this insurance to make sure we're getting the best deal.

Our forecast for our days off this week looks like a good chance for rain on both days. We are not happy about that, but will plan a couple things where we can choose depending on the weather. In the meantime, we have our "Friday" today, and look forward to another fun filled break tomorrow...
