Another Yves Alert
There has been another Yves sighting.....
Yves and I (doesn't that have a nice ring?) decided to freak out my bank for a second them. We added the rain covers for the panniers (which I forgot) to the order making it now a different total and surprise, surprise.....the bank melted down, threw themselves over my pile of shiny coins, and wouldn't let Yves touch them. Again.
One more call to the bank combined with a description of Yves of the North, and the bank teller swooned....and then she laughed when she discovered that Yves (now found to not be perfect but who cares???) had typed in my card expiration date as 3020 or something and that's why they balked on releasing the funds.
So I called Yves with the good news and got his answering machine. Okay, I admit it, I listened to the recording more than once. But only 4 or 5 times. We could say that I was trying to brush up on my French but I can't lie....I never spoke French.
WARING WARNING WARNING
Yves tells me that Mrs. Yves is now monitoring this thread so we may have to go underground......."The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we might become." Charles Dubois

Send Mme Yves my way...we've got plenty of wine and I'm sure it will all work out in the end.
I don't know how.
It's a mystery.

Okay. I now hold the record. 5 emails from Yves. (Smug smile)
All has been sorted out....at least with the panniers shipment. Yves is even paying for overnight air shipment so I can have the bike for this weekend since it was his typo that held things up. Now is that a good company, or what?
Mrs. Yves just smiles. She recognizes a grandmotherly figure when she sees one.
Does anyone else think it odd that all the employees photos are listed on their site EXCEPT Yves? Let me see what I can do about that.
