A Veritable Cornucopia of Useless Information

I went back to St. Edward for part of the weekend; as usual, it was a nice and all-too-brief return to the slow yet comfortable pace of life in a small town. My usual at-home routine was “livened up”, so to speak, by loading up and hauling away a truckful of shelving from a former Wal-Mart. Apparently, when one of their stores closes, the company doesn’t bother to move any of the shelves, chairs, signs, scanners, freezers, etc. to the new store; instead, everything is sold off at auction a few months after the store closes. In fact, an auction company has become very successful simply by running the auctions at former Wal-Marts. Anyway, that’s how my family came to be the owners of at least 16′ worth of very heavy-duty shelving. It’ll be useful someday, I guess.
