LOL. One of the commercial buildings 'the curmudgeon' owns includes a restaurant as one of the tenants. The restaurant went belly up. My godson's aunt was hired as the interior designer for the new restaurant that took over the space. She told me that that the curmudgeon was very pleased that the previous restauranteur left some things (like candleholders on the tables, etc) because he could sell them online . That level of utilization at his level is commendable, she just felt that the level of pleasure he got from squeezing out such a potentially small additional sum was a roll eyes moment.

The 72 Skylark doesn't have the cleanest exhaust in the world. Sometimes, when he pulls into a parking space at the local Safeway, at least one other shopper (as they are loading their groceries into their Benz or equivalent) will look over in his direction with a look on her face similar to that of a person who just swallowed a prune. I've chuckled to myself when I've seen that personally. Those women are taking themselves, and life, a tad bit too seriously.
