I get up to watch Fox News Sunday and there's a football game at 8 am! What's this country coming to?
They're singing our national anthem. Doesn't the NFL know we caught a war with these guys?
I bet "The Existential Crisis of Thunder Monkey” (last post) would be a better play.
I slept well last night. 16 hours of driving in two days will do that.
I haven't been to Spring Green. Last time, we had one headlight burnt out. Of course that meant the police in Mazo pulled us over when we were driving home.
Is the picture horizontally flipped? The signage is backwards, and the woman looks like she is reading back-to-front. Maybe its a Wisconsin thing.
Good call on the woman looking like she's reading back to front.
The backwardness of the writing indicates that we are inside the shop, Don's Resale Shop.
And it was a great play.
I flip through magazines and catalogs back to front all the time. Also, I am left-handed. Maybe they are related.
Was there a character at the Resale Shop who has been beaten down by the world and needs a second chance at appreciating what the world has to offer?
This situation would be very similar to Thunder Monkey.
Waiting for Godot?
"Don, do you ever think that there must be more to this?"
"We're a Resale shop: we resell things. That pretty much covers it."
"No -- I mean Life: it just feels like it is the same thing everyday, like there is no plan, no purpose, just... a bit more than nothing, is all."
"All the bits, Ed, they eventually add up; you just have to see what it is they end up making. That's what is new."
"I don't see it, Don: I just don't see it."
"Look at our shop, Ed: we're a Resale shop. We take things some people see as trash and we sell it to people who see it as something new."
"But what if the people buying it are just fooling themselves? What if it was trash, is trash, and will always be trash?
"Then we probably have to discount the price."
"Ha. You know what I mean. I just am starting to think that the only thing we do each day is fool ourselves for another twenty-four hours."
"Which may mean it is time to buy a pre-owned watch."
"Seriously."
"Look at the rifle we sold the other day. Now we may just think it was a hunter buying a rifle to just do more hunting, but what if he was really an anarchist bent on shooting up an office or some such? And we sold him that very rifle?" Wouldn't that be new?"
"I'm not sure I like that 'new', Don."
"Or he could've just found out his wife was cheating on him and he's going to shoot her, or her lover, or both, maybe."
"Maybe we shouldn't resell firearms, Don."
"People can change their lives every day, Ed. One shot from a rifle -- it can change the World."
"They'd put us out of business, Don."
"That's okay, Ed, I have plenty of rifles of my own: I'd find something to do."
I'm curious what the constitutional law professor here has to say about what is going on regarding eminent domain and civil forfeiture in light of US district court judge Charles Breyer (is he related to Stephen Breyer?) on San Francisco's abuse of property rights, as well as the IRS seizing someone's life savings solely on suspicion of wrong doing. It's a case in Iowa.
