Thank you Carlton, for insisting that we spend the big bucks for this super view. Well worth it. (The pictures are a little larger – click on them if you like)
Spent most of the day deacquisitioning. Carlton’s stuff isn’t hard. After all, he isn’t here to defend his stuff. My stuff – well – that is a whole different story. After all it is “my stuff”.
Carlton kept stuff because “We might need it someday” – yeah right – if we did need it we:
1. Wouldn’t remember we had it, or
2. Wouldn’t remember where we put it.
My problem is the Sunk Cost Fallacy. Like the madder shawl. Keeping the damn thing isn’t going to get my money back – it is a sunk cost. What part of sunk don’t I understand? BTW – the madder shawl made it to the Goodwill Mountain.
Carlton didn’t have a problem with sunk cost – because he never spent any money. But, boy did that man save crap. Today I found a tennis racket handle. Now, what was he going to do with that?
But the absolutely worst thing I found today was a “worn/used” adult diaper. Yes, he saved a used Depends. I can only hope that he is the one who wore it. No, it didn’t appear to have been, shall we say, soiled. But it had been worn. Women are supposed to be able to identify their mate’s dirty undies by scent. I didn’t try. I’ll trust science on that one.
Loved the pictures Peg. Thanks for posting
The text…LOL. I’d trust science too!!
Hi Peg: Many moons since I posted on your blog; I do keep up with you and was sorry to hear about Carlton. He was a joy to be around. Just asking; why can’t you renew your lease on this wonderful view/condo for another year or two since you enjoy it so much? You’re not ancient and seem to be in good helth! I’ll be retiring May 30 from KLGO at almost 78 (on 9/1; see your blog of 8/31/2001). And wondering what to do next. I/m loving all your amazing photos; keep them coming! Best to you. Evelyn Meyer
