Yesterday, Johnny Sixteen mentioned to me that I don't get out often enough, so I thought I should get out of the house. Well, this morning there was a farm auction in southeast Lambton County, but I woke up too damn late so I couldn't go. However, my cheap alarm went off* and I thought to myself, I have to go to Sarnia.
Got the farm car, drove to Downtown Sarnia, and went to the two stores that are worth going to... Future Pastimes and Cheeky Monkey. Future Pastimes was a bit of a bust, since they still haven't got the comic book boxes off the floor and in working order. Cheeky Monkey was better, I found Philip Glass CDs for the first time there and picked up The Photographer.
As I was heading home, the cheap alarm goes off again, this time I bit stronger. I realize that I haven't go to one of the antiques stores in Thetford in awhile and thought to myself to make the segway. When I got there, the first place I go is the board games; nothing tickle my fancy. I went to the book area; other than the comics, really there was nothing (and the comics were too 1990's). As I was heading towards the front of the store, I caught my eye on some Golden Key Digests. There were about thirteen books but I only had eight bucks on me, and with the digests worth a dollar, I had to go with the good stuff. I picked five digests: four from Walt Disney and one from Warner Bros.
As I got home, I check the prices of the digests. One of the Walt Disney books was priced as six dollars in good condition, and the all the books I purchased ranged from Very Good to Very Fine.
It's nice to know I got a deal.
* The Cheap Alarm goes off whenever I realize that something that is somewhat rare is on sale for cheap... and it works as good as a groundhog's prediction.
