At $200.00 a whack you can fine the finest in what Millennials might buy. Boy, were my eyes opened today at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, 507 Park Avenue, Worcester! Society is all over the map with wild fashions. If you are Cinderella a pair of Jeremy Scott sneakers can be had for a cool $75.00. Lisa and Fran are great sales people and good people.
In our world of 2016 on this MLK holiday bob had some fun shopping...yep.."I'm a sound man who likes sound and attendant salvage." It was so freeking cold I haven't felt a Wind Chill like today since I worked Atop Mount Washington in 1963..."Snow on the Fourth of July.".. 90 mph winds... and none from Washington where the politicians are specialists in HOT AIR.
My finds today were esoteric. How about a Keystone 8 mm Projector in working order. As a teenage not in love I showed 16mm films for the Masons. The Late Buddy Lane was a Mason and in charge. I earned $2,00 enough for 6 gallons of petrol. Today, in gasoline alley, it remains at $1.71/gallon. Are we at the Bottom of the Barrel?
Too bad I still have not learned how to enjoy my Pulse2..JBL speaker. After several months without a phone while driving past Klem's in East Brookfield my right pocket started to vibrate. Amazingly,my new Motorola SamartPhone is awesome. It shows who is calling, the time and the temperature...Lol.
Arbella was questioning my $201 towing bill before paying me for the umpteenth time. I gave a narrative...the truth about getting stranded on the MassPike. Not fun, necessarily, yet a Good Samaritan delivered me to my doorstep from the Westporo Pit Stop and I delivered the gentleman from Oregon a crisp, new Fifty Dollar Bill and tipped him $10.00. I think he was headed to an Aerosmith Concert in Hartford. I don't do Aerosmith... and will leave it at that.
I met more good people today...Jeremy and Celine. More later. Here's a tip to all sales-types: "The more nice you are to people...the more they will spend." And thanks to my new buddy "Angel." Courtesy is contagious and if somebody "pisses in your Cheerios" dump them out and try again.
Old Bob-your Blogger is having a ton of fun like the 'Tuns-a-phuns" of yesteryear. Also, two awesome additions to my growing Blog Museum: A heavy brass apple from Pottery Barn to match my "brass ballz)" yes, indeed , my effrontery has gotten me places in life...but you must know when to "back off." Only one broken nose in Vietnam... coldcocked my a drunk. And yes, I was three sheets to thee wind when I found myself lying in the sand. on a March night in 1967..Vung It really woke me up when I was down. Luckily my commanding officer, Sheldon Kabaker, MD, was an ENT Specialist. 'Plyers in the nose".. not fun. Worse off, I couldn't stand the packed gauze in my Snozzola so I pulled it outs and have suffered with a deviated septum for a Half Century. Live and learn.
Oh, and I bought a couple of "juicers".. you know like your mother used in making orange juice. This will be tutorial for the grandkids...
January can be fun is you take the time to have fun. I did my "Aetna Territory" in reverse from here to there..Southbride to Webster, etc. It was great reminiscing back to time when we went to the Moon..(1969)
If only I were smart enough to get my Pulse2 working. Is there a doctor in the house.?
I must to some art work to supplement my messages.....'GI Beans...and GI Gravy...Gee I Wished I Joint The Navy!" Finally I got an NRA Life Member leather Bomber jacket. Made in India.. a true piece.. my size..XL not "Jumbo" like a few of my rotund friends. Shame on you!
