Those of us old enough to remember (there will be a few ladies in the crowd that will say, "gee I don't remember that"), listened to a song back in the 70's titled "Ride Captain Ride". One line in that song says "No one heard them calling, no one came at all. 'Cause they were to busy watching, those old raindrops fall".
Well thats the way a lot of the day went at the old JUNK-Shun yesterday. Had a few very nice people stop in and sold a few things but the highlight of my day was when a gentleman came up from Zaneville celebrating his 91st birthday.
Actually I hadn't opened yet as I was putting brakes on the old green van. His daughter told me I didn't need to open up just for them and I said, "are you kidding, there is no way I'm refusing to open the doors for a man celebrating his 91st birthday!". We had a nice chat and he reminisced about his old Model T that he drove when he was 12 years old.
I love talking to people that are older than me, we can learn so much from them. Oh...I'm also much better at fixing brakes than locks!!
