There is nothing like an eclipse of the moon to get scientists revved up with explanations. But man and his mathematicians don't know everything about the universe. Despite finding water on Mars, NASA sa.ys it still doesn't know if life exists beyond earth. And Wikipedia says the size of the universe is unknown and may be infinite. When I was filming the eclipse this week, it was hard not to sense something Biblical about it

Be careful of hotel room real estate seminars!
In the past, there have been Wisconsin consumers sorry they attended get-rich-quick real estate seminars in hotels. Two things to keep in mind: out-of-town businesses that operate in hotels eventually leave town. And if real estate deals are so profitable why aren't these experts taking their own advice rather than trying to sell it to you?

CA-DAs Fine Kohl's 1-Mil for Overcharging
PRESS RELEASE: Kohl’s Department Stores Agrees to Settlement in Civil Protection Lawsuit of Nearly $1 Million District Attorney Jeffrey S. Rosell announced today that Kohl’s Corporation (“Kohl’s”) agreed to a settlement of $958,686.27 stemming from a civil complaint filed by the Santa Cruz County District Attorney’s Office along with Fresno, Riverside, and Shasta county District Attorneys. The complaint alleged that Kohl’s charged customers a higher price than the prices advertised on store shelves and signs. The complaint also alleged that material disclosures relating to the “Kohl’s Cash” program were not adequately made in Kohl’s advertisements. The case arose from scanner/price inspections by multiple county Weights & Measures units, including the Santa Cruz County Department of Weights & Measures. Kohl’s cooperated with inspectors and the prosecutor’s offices during the investigation and has instituted new policies and procedures to improve pricing accuracy. Without admitting wrongdoing, Kohl’s consented to the settlement that includes injunctive provisions to ensure future compliance, as well the payment for civil penalties, costs of investigation, and restitution. The matter was prosecuted for Santa Cruz County by Assistant District Attorney Kelly Walker, who said, “Our consumer protection unit brings these types of actions to ensure that customers are charged the correct price when paying at the register. Consumers in Santa Cruz County who believe they are a victim of a price overcharge may contact either the Santa Cruz County District Attorney’s Office Consumer Protection Unit at (831) 454-2601 or the Santa Cruz County Department of Weights & Measures at (831) 454-2383.

Journey into the Cave of the Mounds
I may have spent 45 years appearing on TV as a consumer advocate, but it is still an honor for me to be recognized by strangers. It happened again...this time in a very dark and damp place--Cave of the Mounds near Madison, WI. Becky, the nice and knowledgeable tour guide, pointed her flashlight and studied me like I was a stalagmite. " I've seen you on TV," she said. I've also been recognized as the creator of these videos for the Janesville Gazette. Folks in Janesville and Madison have come up to me to say they know me from my Gazette videos and appreciate them. Strangers being kind to an old fossil!
