A nine year old girl comes in with her mom. She had already called inquiring if I'd be interested in buying her flute. The mother sits on the sidelines - totally silent. My business is with her daughter. This serves two purposes; a) the girl gets a real life lesson in buying and selling; and b) only a real scoundrel is going to rip off a nine-year old. Nice flute. I've got a used one already selling for about $600. I gave her a hundred and fifty bucks for it. Am I a scoundrel? Not really. I looked it up. I can sell it for about two hundred. She got a fair deal. Mine came with the inventory and cost me about two hundred. I got ripped. Well not really. I've already got six months of rental income from it which pretty much covered the inventory cost. So I can still sell it for two hundred and double my money. Or just keep on renting both of them and squeeze a few thousand out of that hundred-and-fifty dollar investment over a period of a few years. Now I'm starting to sound like a scoundrel. Think I'll just try and sell it.

Now what to do with a box of crumbling 50 year old Presbyterian choral scores. The guy died and his wife donated it to me to try and find a good home. He really got off on his singing - these are some incredible pieces. Might sit here for a few years, but I'll find a good home for it. That's what I do.

We're on a general collision course with a good sized asteroid. Feb. 1, 2019 to be precise. Now that could be interesting. We've got 17 years to either dispel the threat via more precise measurement, or get rid of it, or in the worst case - take it in the shin. But I've got just the thing for you. Crystals. Magic crystals. Yeah, that's it - magic crystals. Wear one of these around your neck and you won't get killed by an asteroid. I promise. Two hundred bucks. Oh and it comes with a 30 day guarantee.

Traficant only got one yea vote - from Condit. He's been voted out of the house. Doubt that he'll do any serious time - but can you imagine having such a bad hair day all the time? If he ever wants any respect he's gonna' have to raze that doo. It looks like a bad hairpiece. Probably is. If not, my condolences. Try a crewcut - please.
