I've been a little busy these past few days. No time to prepare a story that twists and turns like a pig's tail. But I AM offering you a quick view of the (partial) swag we received from the abstract company at the closing on Bargain House.
First of all, I must reveal that it came in a bright red canvas bag emblazoned with the name and phone number of the abstract company. Tax deductible expense, you know. Promotional merchandise. I gave the bag to The Pony on Tuesday when he came out.
It's not that these are valuable items that everybody wants to possess. It's just the idea that you're getting SOMETHING for "FREE." Even though it cost us $35,000. Well. Much less than that to the abstract company. Not much at all for their percentage.
Anyhoo... here's most of what we got:
There are three pens. You're crazy if you don't appreciate a good free pen, says the former teacher Val. A big notepad and a small notepad. A pretty blue cloth for cleaning your glasses. A rubbery flag keyring, and a metal oval keyring. Two letter opener thingies. An emery board. A magnetic fridge magnet. And most curious of all, that red pouch dealybobber. You can't see it here, but the black edge of the pouch is open, and inside is a circular object. It fits, because it's twisted. It opens up into a flat Frisbee kind of thing. There were two, but I had a use for the other. Eventually that story will be told.
Anyhoo, I gave The Pony the bag, to use it to carry home the other three items: coffee mugs! No, The Pony doesn't drink coffee. Nor do Hick or I. The Pony wanted them to make a mug cake. THREE, apparently!
Like I said, this is just filler. There's a big story waiting to be told... No. It does not involve the sale or purchase of flip houses.
