The landlord decided that it wanted the shop to move to another building it owned across the street. The location in the second building was one in which no commercial enterprise had ever succeeded. One day, from nowhere, all of the cards for all of the seasons were out at the same time. Why wait until Mother's Day when you could combine its card with your purchases from Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, and Sweetest Day? It was a delicious confusion. And then the signs - "fixtures for sale," "all cards 30% off," and the like. That clearance sale lasted two weeks. At the end of the two weeks, around Valentine's Day, all of the cards from the other seasons disappeared. The sale signs disappeared. And card shop went on as usual. ____________ Dante Stella http://www.dantestella.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
