Reno

It's always fun to go to Reno. I like to go to the Salvation Army where I found a hundred dollar watch for tweleve bucks! It keeps perfect time. And is LED. We also went to MasterCraft wood yard and Richard bought all the supplies necessary for a cabinet job he's doing.

He always feels a bit shy going to this huge lumber yard where he imagines hundreds of subdivision contractors loading up thousands of dollars of purchases. But when we get there the yard is dead empty. A cool cowboy helps Richard load up his small order.

Then comes time for Richard to tie down the load. Now this is not Richard's strong suit. As he says he never learned how to roll up a rope so that it just drops out perfectly in untangled loops. So anyway, he's trying to untangle his rope and the taciturn cowboy's smoking a cigarette and watching and Richard's feeling like, why don't you just go away, and then the guy comes over and helps him!

The cowboy swiftly untangles the rope and ties down the load like it were a bison in Wyoming. I mean that load was tied down tight. And Richard, he's so cool, he asks if the guy will take anything for his help, and the guy says sure, and Richard slips him a tenspot. And everyone is happy.

We really believe in tipping people. The guys from the interent company that climb your tree, the guy that stops to jump your car battery. Some people accept and some don't. It's all good. The only tangible ways to show love is with time and money. And since you can't give these people any of your time, it's money baby, money.
