A long and painful day today. My only official function today was to get my latest Anthrax shot—a process that took most of the morning. I was very busy although. Hertz rental car over charged me for my car—they gave me the walk up rate instead of the government rate. Although they admitted that I deserve the government rate, they refused to refund the difference. To make matters worse, the Navy will only reimburse me for the government rate. So, it looks like this little trip as cost me a couple of hundred dollars so far. It is a shame that a big company like Hertz treats its customers like that.On a lighter note, I went to the Yorktown battlefield today. I wanted to go to Williamsburg, but after dealing with Hertz all day, I didn’t have time to make it all the way up there. I wound up going to Yorktown instead. As a fan of history I was looking forward to walking around the ramparts and fortifications. It turns out that this weekend is the 255th anniversary of the battle of Yorktown. As a result, the park was packed and much of the area was roped off for the reenactments that are scheduled for this weekend.
