Curiouser and Curiouser

 We've had a Friend's Adult Daughter here for Days, it's a long Story and she's always Welcome here.   She isn't getting along with her Mom's Boyfriend and we don't like him either.   So, it's best for now she stay here until she goes back to either her Dad's or her Maternal Grandma's after having visited her Mom for a while.  I have told her Mom that she and her Daughters are always Welcome here, but I don't want the Boyfriend coming to our Home.  He's only been here twice, I felt uncomfortable around him and I just don't like him at all and didn't get a good Vibe about him, he's Creepy.  To each their own, but I'm Honest with anyone I'm close to if they're with someone I don't have a Peace about or really don't Like, if someone is Creepy, I don't want them around me or mine.  Listen, you can be a Weirdo or Odd, we're not your Garden Variety folks either, but, just don't be Creepy.  *LOL*

Anyway, we've been having more Yardwork done, our Neighbor Brothers are doing it and it's looking good, even tho' the John Deere is on the fritz again.   We had to trim back the Citrus Trees overhang some that comes over the Fence from Omar's Property.  We left it for symmetry and shade, but just made them able to be walked under.  Citrus, if left to grow Naturally, will have a Skirt clear to the Ground.  We picked all the Fruit off them and I'll bring the excess in to the Antique Mall for Customers and Co-Workers to take Home for Free.   The Citrus from these very Old Trees is massive and makes what they're Selling in the Stores look like miniatures.  *LOL*  They taste better too.  There's Pink Grapefruit, Lemons, Tangelo, and Two varieties of Pecans right now and next Year's Blooms are already in full Swing for the next Harvest.  You get Year round Harvests here.

So, I have a large Box filled with it all to bring in to Work Tonight, usually it's gone within 48 Hours or less, so, none is ever wasted.  You have to Harvest all that you can or it will attract Roof Rats and other Vermin.  If you've ever seen a Roof Rat they're enormous and Exterminating Companies charge extra to eliminate them.  When Miss Priss, our Working Cat, was Alive, she killed off any that came onto our Property and would bring them to me as Pressies.  I'd have to Praise her for the Good Work she was doing and dispose of the carnage of our Huntress.   However, Eli is not only an Inside Only Cat, he's also a Big Ole' Scaredy Cat.  If a Spider or Bug is even Dead he Freaks Out about it!  Miss Priss was also an excellent Scorpion Killer, we Miss her Work... and her.  But, she came to us as an Adult Alley Cat Stray and they make the best Working Cats.

Eli is the only Non-Working Cat I've ever had actually, he doesn't Earn his Keep but he keeps his Human Company and is her close Companion.  Ironically he's the least Sociable of any Cat we've ever had, even the Ferals who Adopted us and became somewhat Domesticated tolerated Human better than he does.   He's part Maine Coon Cat and I attribute his Wildness in Temperament to that, he's an enormous Animal, the size and weight of a Small Dog.   He'll attack People just fine, it's anything else he's Scared of.  *LOL*  I'm the only one he's never gotten mean spirited with, I just look at him sternly when he's misbehaving or been naughty towards someone, and he rolls over on his Back and exposes his Belly, we clearly have an "understanding".  *Winks*  The rest of the Family said a Psycho Cat recognizes a Psycho Human.  They could be Right?  *Bwahahaha*

Plus, I Believe he understands every Word I say, since, I've told him if he want to continue to be Spoiled Rotten by me, and get all those good Kibbles I indulge him with, his Ducks better stay in a Row.  Otherwise, he goes to "Great China"... and he might not know where that is, but he's pretty damned sure he never wants to find out and have to go there.  *Winks*  Actually, "Great China" was an Old Chinese Restaurant in Da Hood that had been there forever, now long gone.  But I've used that Threat with every Cat we ever had whenever they misbehaved and it always worked... which was and still is hilarious.  It must sound Ominous enuf to a Cat?  *Bwahaha*  

 Eli is a Trip anyway, he's got a lot of personality and I Adore him.  I always tell him what a Good Boy he is {even tho' he's SO NOT}, and no matter what anybody else says about him.  *Bwahahaha*  He seems to like being told that too and basks in it.  *Winks and LOL*  I always tend to say this, but, he's probably the last Cat we'll have tho'.   I'm just to the place where I don't want the responsibility of Pets and if it weren't for The G-Kid Force, we wouldn't have the Cat and Tropical Fish we currently have.   I inherited the Fish when The Young Prince moved out and I'm pretty damned sure that should Princess T move out one day, I'll inherit Eli too even tho' he's allegedly her Cat.

Anyway, my Shift on Sunday Night went well, but it was a very slow Sunday with soft Sales.  That's not typical, usually Sunday has some of the strongest Sales.   So, Vendors were concerned about it, in case it portends something?   And we did have a couple people that Management had to ask to leave the Mall becoz Security was a concern with them.  One came in wearing a fucking Ski Mask and looked like a Tweaker.  He had an armload of expensive Sports Jerseys and same Team Caps, he was caught on Video Surveillance in areas Customers aren't allowed and was clearly evading Employees.  So, one of the Young Male Employees had to ask him, and the Guy he came in with, to leave, and take the Merch from him.  Luckily they put up no resistance, gave up the Merch, and left without protest.

My sense is they would have ducked out a Fire Escape Exit, which would have set Alarms off, but, been a successful Heist.   And with a Ski Mask on, identifying him would have been more difficult, it hid most of his Face and all of his Hair.   Nobody wears Ski Masks in Phoenix any time of the Year, and especially not in April, it was Eighty Degrees Outside!  So, he instantly drew attention to himself and his behavior was a Tell too, so, it was clear he was no Customer and just a Thief trying to boost some Sports Garments and the Guy he came in with was his Lookout and the Distractor.   Anyway, that was the most action we had on a boring slow Sales Night.  Above is some Quirky Fun Merch I brought in to hawk, isn't the Beatnik Scene Cigarette Holder Hilarious?  Reminds me of Phyllis Diller.  *Smiles*  The other contraption in some nice Packaging is touted as being a Premium Zen Scalp Massager. *LOL*

  So many Customers were having us take things up to the front for them to hold and then not Buying any of it too.  I don't understand people who do that and it wastes valuable Staff time spent Serving them and then putting it all back.  Usually they are the most notorious of Time Wasters while being Served too.   People who are actual Buyers never take up as much time to Serve, as those who will consume as much Staff time waiting on them as they can drag out, and then actually Buy nothing at all, but pretend as if they're going to.  I can usually tell now when someone is of that ilk, they spend far too much time talking about the item that they're going to walk out without and just leave up front at the end of the Night.  *Le Sigh*

Since, most of it came out of Locked Cases, we have to put it all back before we leave after Closing.   So, I got out late, with having to put those items back in Locked Cases after we Closed.  I wasn't at all Surprised which items they were and which Customers left without Buying any of it.   One Couple had wasted an inordinate amount of my time and both of my Co-Workers time picking out Jewelry.  For us to then  take up front and Hold for them, then left without buying a single piece of it.  I don't know that they bought anything at all, even tho' they spent about as much time Shopping as I spent on my Shift.  And... that's not unusual for the Non-Buying Time Waster ilk actually.  

They'll spend Hours doing that shit.  But, you have to Serve them and it takes Employee time away from actual Customers.  Who then have to wait longer to get Served, while the Time Wasters monopolize Employees.  *Eye Roll*   My Co-Worker Rochelle said she had Two Guys spend over 45 Minutes at one Locked Case, having her show them every single item in the damned Case and then not want any of it.  While all the other Customers pressing the Buzzers were going to Last Call, coz I had to then cover all of those Customer's requests to Open a Case!  Since, the 3rd Co-Worker is manning the Front Greeter Station, which also checks Vendors out who are removing Merchandise.   She apologized to me for being tied up that long, but, what could she really do?   And, Rochelle is about 80 Years Old, so standing in one spot for 45 Minutes was not easy for or on her.  It's a wonder she didn't Nod Off.  Mebbe it's what they were Counting on?  *LOL*

Finally she had to tell the Guys, Listen, I've got to assist other Customers, coz it had gotten busy all at once.  She told them perhaps you should walk around some and consider if you're going to actually want any of this if you can't decide right now?   I wouldn't have taken 45 Minutes to tell them something similar.  I have the prompting Lines I use to move along the Time Waster who is deliberately just monopolizing my Customer Service at the expense of other Customers, who actually will be making a Purchase and need assistance.   I don't Care if they never come back or file a Complaint.  I'm Polite and Professional about it, but, make it clear we can't be their Personal Shopper, we have other Customers needing to be Served as well.  They hear everything going to Last Call, so, they're intentionally being inconsiderate, egocentric, selfish and rude.  Or, they could be up to no good, you never know.  Any peculiar acting Person is always someone I'm suspicious of.

Yep, I'm that Employee that will look them straight in the Eye, Smile and say something like, "I can see you're having trouble making a decision about this.  So, I'll give you some more time to consider... and I can always come back later and re-open the Case any time...", and I am closing and Locking the Case as I say that... and quickly zoom off to assist someone whose already been held up waiting too long on account of that dawdler.   And then, if the dawdler is needing assistance again, I can return to Serve them, but right away Smile and say, "Oh, so you've decided now, Splendid... what will I be taking up front for you?"   I have them point out an Object in the Case, before I even unlock it.    And, Yes, you Guessed it, those are often the very same folks who pretend to want to Buy something and never actually make a Purchase anyway.

We used to have a set of Older Twins come in, on the regular, they'd load up their Carts with Merch, bring it all up Front for Cashiers to log into the System, for Hours.  Sometimes they'd be in the Mall all damned day doing that, and we're Open from 9:00am-9:00pm!   Then they'd waste more time by asking to look at each item again at the Register, thus holding up Checkout for other Customers.  Then change their Mind about everything, or mebbe Buy a single item out of the Hoard... and... we'd then have to spend Hours putting it all back into Inventory thruout the Mall!   I Kid you not, everyone cringed each time they came in.  Finally I think Management banned them from the Mall and we've never seen them again, whew and Thank God!!! 

 We had another Weirdo who Got his Rocks Off fondling Nazi Memorabilia in the Locked Militaria Cases.  He practically had Orgasms doing it, grossed me out, so I told the Manager I would no longer wait on that Creepy Perv.  If you saw the Guy, you'd probably think he was Normal, and he was Polite in his superficial conversation with you.  But, I could only Imagine how fucking Sick he is in Private, when he does shit like that in Public with no Shame?!  And folks like that walk among us.  The part of me that worked Criminal Files for Years at the DA's Office, always Wonders if a Guy like that has Victims tied up in his Basement?  Or is a Sex Offender, or something equally demented and heinous, that he's hiding from the World or would do, given half a chance?  Sick Bastard.  I was relieved when that Guy didn't come in anymore... don't know if Management finally banned him?  Good riddance regardless.

Ah, the Joys of Retail Sales, with the Human Sideshow that can and sometimes does show up.  *LOL*  Thankfully the majority of Customers are just Shoppers who behave appropriately and are a Joy, so it makes up for the smaller percentile that aren't.  When I'm out Shopping I try to be that Customer that an Employee has a Positive Experience Serving.  And, I always Hope that my Experience with Staff isn't a Negative one either, since, we all know that can and does happen too... it's a crap shoot.  Whenever someone doesn't treat Customers right, I just don't Shop there anymore.   Their loss, Customers can and will just spend their Money somewhere else.  Places where they will get good Service,  have Positive Experiences and good Memories about doing Business and spending Money there.

The Man and I went to the Antique Mall and did some more Decorating in the New Showroom.  I began hanging my Pom-Pom Ball Trim on the Shelving {see Below}, I couldn't finish since I ran out of Upholstery Tacks.  While taking the Trim off the Old Showroom Shelves it bent a lot of the Tacks, so I couldn't re-use them all.  We went to a JoAnn's Craft Store and found the same Style Upholstery Tacks tho' and bought more Pom-Pom Ball Trims too, since I didn't have enuf for double the Shelving the New Showroom has.   I decided to get some Colorful multicolored Trim Pom-Pom Balls for the other Shelf that has the Fiesta Ware Displayed on it.  I'll Photograph that after it's installed.

That Pom-Pom Trim must be very popular since they were almost Sold Out of all of it.  I got only a remnant of a Neutral Tan that should match this pretty closely, to finish off the Top Shelf Trim.   And I bought all of the Multi-color Pom-Pom Trim.   They barely had just over Two Yards of it left and I couldn't risk not just buying what they had in case they don't get more in.   In fact, I had heard that JoAnn's was having trouble and they are down to bare bones Staffing and Inventory is sparse now too.  All of them locally are huge Stores, so it's very obvious when they aren't filling it with Merch and also have Two Employees trying to run the whole Store.  It's busy, so, the Lady at the Fabric Cutting Station and the One Cashier were all the Employees to be found and lines were long waiting to be Served by each.

We'd eaten Breakfast before Working, at "Wildflower Bread Co.", and this was the new Baja Breakfast Bowl from the Spring Menu.  It will be Seasonal, under the Sunny Side Up Eggs are Roasted Potatoes, Poblano Peppers, Roasted Red Bell Peppers, Caramelized Onions, Cilantro, Sour Cream, Scallions, Spicy Salsa Verde and Artisan Toast.  I really liked it so would definitely order it again.   After we picked Princess T up from School later in the Afternoon she wanted to eat Dinner out so we went to "Cracker Barrel", I had the Roast Beef {Below}, and The Man had the Chicken Pot Pie {also pictured Two More Images Below that one}.  The Chicken Pot Pie is larger than it used to be, for the same price, so, it was heartier than he could manage, it will feed him for a whole other Meal.  *LOL*

Below is a Green Chile Cheese Macaroni Sopita I got a Recipe for Online, it doesn't have many ingredients and looks delicious.   Just half a Lb. of lean Ground Beef, 1 and a Half Cups uncooked Pasta, 3/4 Cup Hot Green Chile, finely diced Tomato, Onion diced, Garlic diced, 1 Yellow Can of Hot El Pato Brand Tomato Sauce, 2 Cups Beef Broth, Muenster Cheese diced in Cubes.  You brown the Meat, add the Pasta, Chile, Tomato, Onion and Garlic, fry until the Onion is translucent.  Add El Pato Sauce and Beef Broth, cooking at low Boil 8-10 Minutes.  Add more Broth if you want it Soupier.  Add Muenster Cheese and Enjoy!  350 Calories per Serving.  

Somehow my Algorithm gets this Food Porn Recipe Feed on my Book of Faces Wall and they've had such good easy ones, I'm not Mad about it.  *Smiles*   The Man and I are both Foodies, we like good Food and don't eat a lot, but, when we eat we like to have flavorful interesting choices.  Amber brought over more of her famous Tamales, so, I'll be having those Tomorrow.   She makes the best Tamales, better than any I've ever bought.   This time she brought over her Red Beef Tamales, about 10 of them, which won't last long around here.  *LOL*  She's always eating when she comes here to visit, since we always Feed anyone while they're here, so she often brings some Food over as reciprocity.  *Smiles*

While I was at "Cracker Barrel" I bought the Book Below, a Recipe Book by Reba McEntire.  I had earned some Gift Shop Credit with our Frequent Customer Rewards Program there.    My Friend Tina has an Aunt Earlene that looks enuf like Reba they could be mistaken for being Twins, I kid you not!!!   Apparently when she's out in Public a lot of people think she is the Celebrity.  *LOL*  I would think it is a double edged Sword to look too much like a Famous person, since, you don't have the Security or Money they would have to protect them from Fans and be able to be out in Public safely.   There is a Young Man who works at a Circle K Convenience Store near our Antique Mall that looks like a Younger Johnny Depp!  He sounds like him too and has a similar Style!!!  I had to do a double take first time he was my Cashier, coz I'm like DAMN, this Guy is a dead Ringer Doppelganger for a Younger Johnny Depp!

A Friend of mine shared the Meme Below which I thought was hilarious!  It is unfortunately accurate about the MAGA Maniacs of his Cult, he can tell them anything, no matter how outrageous or unhinged, and they Believe it and fall for it Hook, Line and Sinker as if it's Gospel.  No wonder he now thinks he's comparable to Jesus... the Lunatic Fringe do Worship him and act like he's their chosen Messiah... most especially the Evangelicals.   One would think people who claim to be so deeply Religious would be able to tell what Heresy and Blasphemy is and who is committing such Sins... but, apparently they can't.  Very Telling IMO.  Guess they just have a form and a fashion of some really extremist perverse versions of a Religion. 

On my Algorithm I also got a Feed of a Fav Artist, Frida Kahlo, and this is the first time I'd ever seen this Beautiful Image of her.   She had such Amazing Style and was a very Unique and Forward Thinking Woman, way ahead of her Time.   I'd like to get that Image printed in a 5x7 to Frame.   I go to Nissan to do my Survey Today on my Experience, they give you some kind of Free Gift too, no idea what it will be, but it's a nice gesture.   The Owner of the Dealership is the one who meets with you, he's very Hand's On to ensure you have the best possible Experience there and why I've always done business with that Dealership.  Some of the others are great about Sales, less so about Customer Service after a Sale.

Below is another Online Recipe from the same site I got the other one from, it's a Green Chile Chicken Flatbread.   This one is Colors Rustic Flatbread topped with Diced Green Chiles and 6 oz. Cream Cheese mixed together well.   Shred some Rotisserie Chicken or leave this Recipe Meat Free.  1/2 Cup each of shredded Mozzarella Cheese and shredded Pepper Jack Cheese.  2 Tbsp. chopped Cilantro to add after Baking.   Preheat Oven to 425 and Bake 10-15 Minutes.  Top with the Fresh Cilantro and some Lime Juice {both optional} ... also, in the Pix it looks like they did add some Red Onion.    Calories 350

I had bought some Ukrainian Easter Eggs from a Vendor at our Antique Mall who claimed on her Tags that they were Wooden, but, I think the Red & Yellow one is a Real Egg!   I got it Home and it had a very small hole in part of the Design that I hadn't seen since the Design camouflaged it well.  So, NOT Wood, and I had to fill in the broken section with some Gorilla Glue, which worked, but, now I've got to take Special Care of that Egg.  I usually only Buy the Wooden ones since they aren't fragile and hold up for Years and if they befall any accidental incident.   The shame of it is, that the Real Egg is my favorite Design... dammit!

  

Not sure if the little bit of damage is before or after I Bought it, the Cashier thought he was handling Wooden Eggs, so did I.   Or, since there are no other openings on the Egg and this is a Real Egg, it's possible that's where they drilled a Hole to empty the Egg of it's contents?   It feels heavier than an empty Eggshell so I Hope it's emptied of it's contents anyway?  *Bwahahaha*  It doesn't smell bad... but, I once had bought an Ostrich Egg that has a Mummified Baby unhatched Ostrich inside of it... so... it can happen.  I know, Creepy... but I wasn't the Artisan who Created this Art so I don't know their particular Process.   Below is the Egg in Question...

The Artistry on it is exceptional so I'm going to Keep it, regardless of the damaged part.  But, it did kind of Creep me Out a bit as I got a Magnifying Glass to see if it was a chip in some Wood, or a Real Egg with Contents inside that looked... well... I'll let YOU be the Judge and see if you got the same impression that I did okay?   And remember, it feels about the same Weight as the Wooden Egg that clearly is Wooden and should have more substance to it than an EMPTY Real Egg with Contents blown out of it like you'd usually expect.

And mebbe after painstakingly Decorating said Egg they didn't have the Heart to just throw it away if they forgot to blow it out first or damaged it after all the Hand Work?  I just don't know what to Think actually.   Are you ready?   Okay, so, peer into the Hole in the Egg that is photographed below... to show you the damaged part with the Hole and unusual shaped breakage:

I've got clear Gorilla Glue in the Hole, since I don't think that fucking Egg is Empty and to me it looks like a petrified Chick in there, not just dried Egg?!  So, I wanted it Sealed!  Mebbe I'm letting my Imagination get the best of me?   But, doesn't that look like a pecking Hole in the Egg and not some random damage?   Mebbe the Chick just Died trying to be Born, but, WHY would someone then Decorate the Egg for Easter and not blow out the Contents or leave a Dead Chick inside of it?   I'm just flabbergasted, but, since it doesn't smell and I've now Sealed the Hole with a strong adhesive... and Paid for the Egg... I'm leaving well enuf alone and just putting it into my Cabinet of Curiosities.  Mebbe even put it inside of a Lucite Display Cube. 

 The Daughter thinks someone just filled it with something to stop further damage/breakage, make it less fragile, and it's not a Dead Chicken inside?  She's like, "Who would even do that Mom, a Morbid Ukrainian?"  *LMAOROTF*  Well, shit, I dunno, I just know I expected the damned thing to be Wood, not Real, and certainly not Real with Contents inside trying to get Out!!!!!!!  Weigh in on what you THINK you SEE, I'm just Curious... *LOL*   Curiouser and Curiouser indeed...  But, it's not like it's the Weirdest Thing I have.  Oddities, the Weird and Wonderful, are my Trademark after all... so... this will just be one more thing with a good Back Story that people's curious Nature can speculate about and Wonder.  *Smiles*

I have gotten more Weird Specialty T-Shirts Priced last Night, to bring in to the Mall.   Since, keeping pace with how fast they're Selling is proving to be a pretty brisk venture with the New Showroom.   I didn't expect to have to bring in so much Fresh Merch almost Daily, but, it's a nice problem to have, Right?  *Smiles*   And Princess T said now we'll have a good excuse to go Pickin' more often together again, something we haven't done in Years really.   When I began Downsizing I stopped Sourcing for any Resale, since, we had enuf stuff at Home to try to divest ourselves of first.   But, we did Purge our Wardrobe and Closets thoroughly and Customers are wanting MORE, so, it will be Fun to see what we can Source that is our Genre of Fashion?

Every Day that I've gone in since getting the New Showroom there's been Naked Mannequins that need redressing, becoz what they were wearing has been Sold.   And loads of empty Hangars on the Racks too, I'm seeing at least a Half Dozen a Day from our Garment Section being a Quick Turn.   Which, when you consider our Mall is 55,000 sf with about 600 Vendors and many of them do Sell or Specialize in Garments and Vintage Clothing/Accessories, that's pretty good for us to be snagging that much of the Market so soon.   We don't Specialize in anything, I like an eclectic Mix of Inventory and a Room that has variety of Product.  I'm not a One Trick Pony Vendor and don't want to be either.  I have many Interests and Passions, our Merch is evidence of that.

This T-Shirt was interesting in that it was made and Sold by Dodge, and must have been some kind of promo for either a Vintage Advertisement for the Dodge Dart and the Dealerships White Hat Special.   This is the 1960's full sized Model they put out in 1960-1962.   They reduced it to a Compact Model from 1963-1976.   This T-Shirt actually looks Vintage and not a repop Modern Tee.   So, this could be a Cross-Collectible item and those always do very well.   A broader demographic of Specialty Collector or regular Customer will Buy Cross-Collectibles.   I look for Unique and Unusual Garments, with Graphics that not only Appeal to The Granddaughter and I, but, we'd Wear any of it ourselves.  Or have... and you're getting it straight from our edited Closets.  *LOL*

And the Vintage Band and Artist Tees are a No-Brainer.  We try to stick with Artists we know and like ourselves.  I've run across Tour Tees of people I'm not familiar with the Music of and I'm hesitant to Buy what I know nothing about.   Princess T usually also gives it a Thumbs Down if it's Artists she thinks we'd not attract the demographic of to our Space and be stuck with Inventory we don't even like/want ourselves.   By attracting our Customer of Kindred Spirits, we know what they will like and probably Buy, so it's just a safer bet when Sourcing things for resale particularly.   The Thrill of the Hunt for Specialty items is a challenge and Fun.   It's also something all Three Generations of us enjoy doing Together as a Family, which is Special too.   Three Generations of Good Eyes and Eras of different Perspectives, is a handy thing to have when Junquing/Pickin'.  *Winks*

We actually have a little bit of a Competitiveness about it too when choosing Inventory.   To see whose Picks Sell quickest and are in the most demand?  Sometimes Princess T, who is the Fashionista Diva of her Generation, will wrinkle her Nose up at something I'm choosing for Resale and give it a Thumbs Down, but I still feel it's a Solid Sale.  She'll be dissin' me saying, "Who even Buys that Gramma?!"   Then when it Sells right away, she has to admit, I had my Finger on the Pulse.   Case in Point recently was a Tee that had the Grim Reaper and Pit Bulls Graphic on it, you might recall it in a previous Post?  She thought it to be hideous and that it wouldn't Sell and end up Stale Inventory.   Well, I insisted it would Sell... and Quickly to a certain demographic of Customer I know is Shopping in our Mall all the time.  It Sold in a Day... she hadda admit, I was Right.  {Insert Gramma Dawn dropping the Mic... LOL}

And Yes, I KNOW I am not Selling to my Generation of peeps.  The demographic of my Customer has been typically of my Kids or Grandkids Generations even if I'm hawking my Vintage Hippie Merch.  *Smiles*  In fact, a lot of the Youngsters are diggin' that they can talk to an Old Hippie to ask me about that Era and what they are fascinated about it and trying to resurrect with their own Spin on it these days.  There are plenty of Young Hippies out there these days.   And regardless of the Generation Gap being quite Wide, we're STILL Kindred Spirits with the same Outlook and preferred State of Being and Lifestyle Choices... some things just never really Change all that much.   So I Connect easily to those Young People and truly enjoy their Company and that they want to be our Customer, we appreciate their patronage.
