I passed.
Linda needed a purse.
She found one, marked down 50%. It was $395. It just didn't look like $395. More like $49.50. She passed.
There were 2 chairs with elephant heads on the backs.
Nice. But they were thousands.
There was a glass bird, nice, $75 but Linda said we had no plae to put it.
Same with the fish with blue stripes.
I was getting tired.
Looking at things made me tired.
Department stores wore me down and stamped on me.
There was nothing in them.
Tons and tons of crap.
If it were free, I wouldn't take it.
Don't they ever sell anything likeable? We decided maybe another day.
We went to a bookstore.
I needed a book on my computer.
I needed to know more.
Found a book.
Went to the clerk.
He tabbed it up.
I paid with a card.
Thank you," he said, "would you be good enough to sign this?" He handed me my lastest book.
There, I was famous.
Noticed twice in the same day.
Twice was enough.
Three times or more and you were in trouble.
The gods were making it just right for me.
I asked his name, wrote it in, scribbled something, my name and a drawing.
