I worked the Caballeros parking lot sale on Saturday. I woke up early, and headed down to Arenas Rd. Help set up, and brought a couple of items as well. It was annoying to have customers walking around with you, trying to snag "good" items as soon as they were put out. They mostly got in the way. The U-Haul truck pulled up, and we had lots of bigger items inside. After everything was in place, we sat around waiting for the cash to roll in. I spent most of my time by the water & cookies table. Cookies were two for a dollar; water 50 cents each. I kept eyeing a set of cordial glasses, they looked so cute. They had long stems, were each in a different color, and came with a pitcher & tray. Some time after noon, Larry J came back from being with a client, and I went over to Bongo Johnny's with him for lunch. I had the egg salad sandwich with a salad. It was good. Especially the Bud Light. We then went back over to the sale, but it looked like they were winding down on the sale. We started putting things away around 3. I finally went over to the cordials, picked up the box, and asked Charlie how much they were. He said, "Give me a dollar." Wow. What a bargain. Everything was going to Revivals anyway, so I might as well buy them. We loaded up the U-Haul, and had to even load some people's personal vehicles. We went to the store in Palm Springs, but they already had too much stuff in their receiving area. We then went to the one in Cathedral City, and they took everything we had. That was nice. I drove Michael N back to his car, and went into Streetbar with him for a beer. It was crowded in there, and some guys were playing "Show N Tell" in the corner. They moved it out to the patio, where more guys saw what they were doing, and it go reported to the bartender. He went out and told them they couldn't expose themselves or else they would have to leave. Hey, it's not the Barracks!
