Happy New Years
I’m still hiding in my basement playing with trains. Hope there’s still some deals when I crawl out in the spring.
I don’t know about deals but radon aside - in the northern climes, as Paul said, t’s a great time to spent time in the basement…no distractions of lawn-cutting ladies in bikinis.
I’m a fall sort of guy myself. The colors, the moderate temperatures, football season, and anticipation of the holiday season ahead. I’m pretty much able to find train bargains year round, so I don’t really relate it to a particular season. Nevertheless, the post-Christmas period is certainly a great time of year for picking up some real bargains in just about everything.
Doug - That could be a good business, Lawn-cutting ladies in bikinis.
The landscapers that swarm my neighborhood all summer are nothing to look at. I think women would jump for a job like that. Work on their tans and get paid for it. I’ll have to take this up with one of the landscaping companies around here.
