Papa Murphy's Chippewa Falls
I absolutely love Papa Murphy's in Chippewa Falls. Each time I go in the order is perfect and the people are so nice. I really recommend going there and getting one of their yummy pizzas. Don't go to dine in. If you're not familiar with Papa Murphy's you'll find out that you take the pizza home and bake it.

Taco Johns Revisited
At the very professional request of Taco John's I went back to try another item on the menu. This time I selected their burrito, without the potatoes. The lunch was very good and they remembered my guacamole. I'd go back again. I still wouldn't order a burrito with potatoes in it, but for those who like them, all the more to you.

KMart Customer Service
The closest store we have to a department store here is the KMart in Chippewa Falls. I went there to find bird seed the other day for my cockatiels and picked up one that was 40% off. After going through the register and then realizing that I didn't get the 40%, I went to the customer service counter where a woman was waiting in front of me. I guess they were short clerks and the one they called wasn't showing up so the manager came up and started helping those who were supposed to go to the next line even though they showed up way after me. It was extremely annoyed.
The woman in front of me was taking forever so the whole wait wasn't worth the amount and I just left. I wasn't happy. It happened the same day I gave my burrito to my son and went without dinner that night. lol
I used to not complain about such things but I've found that people are getting more rude by the year. I'm just not going to put up with it any longer.
I don't really blame KMart because the poor guy was just blasted by all the hungry shoppers that day. He could have asked if I was waiting in line for an actual customer service issue instead of shopping though. The problem I had were with the rude women who just clamored at the desk to get their things purchased. How rude they were.

Taco John's in Chippewa Falls
I should have figured something was wrong with a place when they offered tater tots with Mexican food. UGH
I accidentally ordered the wrong thing because their menu isn't very clear. I got some gross meat and potato burrito. What's worse? The last time we went they forgot my guacamole. So, this time he told me he'd give me a freebie guac on the side. We get home. There's no guacamole AGAIN.
So, I won't be going there again. Just like the McDonalds here, I've had it. There's two places I won't return to because every time I go they never get the order right. They offered to correct it but I didn't get it. I think you might remember the Chippewa Falls McDonald's saga. After messing up my order I sent them a letter and whoever wrote back to total defense and was extremely RUDE about the whole thing and didn't even offer to make amends.
Now Wendy's is a place I'll go back to. When the lettuce in my salad at Wendy's was a little icky looking and I didn't notice until I got home they sent me a coupon to exchange the salad without even asking me to come back. That's service and that's where I'll go from now on.
Now it's too late for me to go get dinner and I'm not eating that gross meat and potato burrito. I mean, I admit to accidentally ordering it, but they should really fix their menu so it's easier to read.

Traffic and Speeding on N aka Elm Street
I live on Elm Street so I'm no stranger to the horrible traffic. I really worry about kids around the neighborhood because people drive so fast it's terrible.
Would you folks please learn how to slow down? Just because the speed limit increases to 55 down the road doesn't mean you can travel at that speed before then. It's still a residential area.

The State's Alcholol Problem
Well, this article in the Chippewa Herald is no surprise. When you have an average of two bars per block in each downtown area of each city and then some, I think we do have a real problem.
Perhaps it's trying to keep warm in the cold or maybe it's trying to stay trendy with your friends. Maybe it's boredom because there is nothing else to do. All I see are people wasting what little they make here and trying to drown their problems in a glass of booze.
Think about it, do we really need so many bars? In downtown Chippewa Falls alone, I can think of at least 4 bars within just a few blocks from each other and the the blocks aren't that long. Heck, we even have two neighborhood bars on either side of the hill.
So, I think they're right and it is a problem. Where to stop it? I have no clue. I stopped social drinking after I turned 21 because it was no longer fun to sneak into the bars. Unfortunately for many, it's not as easy.

Eau Claire Paying Its New Employee $92K While Cutting Other Jobs
I don't get this. Eau Claire is cutting five jobs and opening two new ones, one of which pays almost $100,000 per year. Now, where I come from originally that is a good salary to pay an IT manager or programmer at a high tech company. I'm sure the government jobs pay a little less. In wisconsin we pay our IT people are ridiculously low $14.00 per hour or less and a the manager a few dollars more. I wonder how many $15.00 per hour IT jobs and others they will close to support this $100,000 per year position?
They claim they're going to take it out of the property taxes so whenever this guy gets a raise either your tax might go up or someone else gets fired because how can the County pay someone that much when the wages for others are so low? In order to raise money for government officials you must raise taxes somewhere because that's where the pay comes from.
So, those who make very little don't have to pay into the state or federal system except with their blood, sweat and tears. Then the ones in the middle must take the burden because they don't have a lot of write-offs. The wealthy also need to pay, and they do pay a lot, but it doesn't hurt them as much as it hurts the little guy like me.
It's no wonder why there are so many people not making it here and going to the State for money. Get more and better jobs people. We all can't feed cows and work at restaurants all our lives. We need tech jobs, and I don't just mean industrial tech jobs. I mean real tech jobs like the way it used to be with Celestica, Silicon Graphics and Cray. California and Texas gives them great candidates who study other things than agriculture and they get tax deductions for doing certain things. As far as I'm concerned, Doyle chased them right out with his proposals. Bring the tech companies back and bring back good paying jobs like the person in the article will get and you'll get your high paying tax base back and companies will make more money by investments. It's common sense.

There's a new diner in town and its good. Actually, I haven't been fortunate enough to go there myself, but I do know people who work there and eat there. Rumor has it the place is pretty darn good. I know they smell good because whenever I pass by I want to stop and eat. I'll review it when I get the chance to afford it.
Some people are a little wary of the prices, but who wouldn't be when the wages in town are so low. Don't complain to the restaurants, complain to your boss!

Chippewa Ford Closing
Okay, so I'm kind of annoyed at the local Ford company. I don't drive a Ford so it has nothing to do about the car. What annoys the heck out of me is why did this company close down without selling the company and offering the 40 or so employees jobs? It's not like we have an abundance of jobs in the area.

REM by Amanda Steiger
Available at Chippewa Publishing
Rem by Amanda Steiger
When Sophie finds a broken, abandoned android in the city dump and takes him home to repair him, she is amazed at how life-like, how human he seems. His name is Rem. His programming is the most sophisticated she has ever encountered.
Why, Sophie wonders, would anyone abandon such a remarkable android?
Hungry for answers, she probes deeper into Rem's past and unearths a sordid history of abuse, betrayal and unlikely love. Against her better judgment, Sophie finds herself falling in love with Rem. When his old owner appears and tries to reclaim him, she is unwilling to give him up.
Unique among androids, Rem has the power to choose…and soon, he will have to make the most painful and difficult choice he has ever faced.
-- EXCERPT --
In her basement workshop, she laid the android on a padded table. She adjusted the bright overhead lamps and examined his damaged right eye. A spider-web of fine cracks covered the entire surface. It would need replacing. No problem, she had plenty of spares. Carefully, she cut the eye out of the socket and slid a new one into place, inserting the optic wire into the small hole in back. The color wasn't an exact match, but it was close enough that no one would be able to tell from a distance.
She wondered how he'd gotten so badly damaged. Could be that he'd just gotten old and worn out, his owners had thrown him away, then some punks had found him and trashed him for the fun of it. "Sick bastards," she muttered. Lightly, she touched the android's cheek. Though cool, it was as smooth and yielding as real skin. "Never mind. Pretty soon, you'll be as good as new."
It took a while to clean the gunk out of the deep gash in his stomach. She scraped away the worst of it with a chisel and wiped the exposed cables with a damp cloth, careful not to further damage the frayed and severed wires. That done, she took her toolkit from underneath the table, opened it, and got out a set of magnifying goggles, which she strapped onto her face and switched to the times-100 setting. She picked up a slender, pen-sized fuser and went to work.
When she finally took off the goggles and glanced at the old, battered digital clock on her wall, she was not really surprised to see that four hours had passed. Time always slipped by when she was working. She took a few minutes to get some instant soup from the kitchen before returning to her workshop, sliding the goggles back into place.
Another four hours later, she leaned back, wiped the sweat from her brow, and studied her handiwork. Not bad. All the superficial damage had been repaired. Now, all that remained was to see how much data had been left intact in his CPU. Unless his previous owner had flushed his brain before throwing him out, he might still have his old memories. A little chill of excitement ran up her spine.

Iced Coffee and Internet Service
The other day I needed to get some work done and my son wouldn’t keep still so I brought him to the 4:30 am coffee house on Bridge Street.
I used to drive through almost every morning and buy coffee, but since I’ve been writing from home I haven’t needed to. Well, their coffee is just as good inside as it is on the run.
The Internet service was easy to access. It wasn’t the fastest in the world, but this is a problem with their provider and not the coffee shop itself.
One reason why I enjoy going to 4:30 am as opposed to other places is because it’s more homey and has a friendlier atmosphere. It’s almost boutique like with the items for sale around the shop and the management and employees are always friendly to chat with.
I recommend visiting here for coffee while either on the run on sitting in.
