TBW Daily Diary

Overcast until late afternoon. Only one customer; seems like when we have a sale there is always one day when the crowds stay away. Let's hope today was it. As one customer said last Saturday: "There's more stuff here than there was the last times we were here." And we need more space for all the stuff still in the closets . . . Our thanks to Larry at TheBurg; he plugged our sale on the newspaper's FaceBook page yesterday . . . Jackson Taylor, author of The Blue Orchard, will be back at Midtown Scholar for a group discussion on Thursday, November 11, at 7:30 p.m. . . . Wish dog owners would learn to keep their pets away from the greenery along the street. Our evergreens are permanently brown around the lower edges and the lush boxwood at 711 Green Street is rapidly being destroyed. When I yell at an offender the leash-holder gives me a vacant Zombie stare as if that somehow makes him/her invisible . . . Well, in less than a week we will know which are "the best politicians money can buy." I am not advocating any candidate because all have received thousands. Toomey, it has been reported, got more money from outside parties (U.S. Chamber of Commerce, NRA, etc.) than he raised within the Commonwealth . . . I got a phone call from '50s crooner Pat Boone earlier this evening; Bob is furious with me because I hung up on "April Love" before I learned which candidate he was
hawking . . .
