This is a facility IU runs where all of their extra equipment and furniture and what not from the many different campuses comes to be picked over by the general public. Plus, they were having a sale. I mean look at the deal they&#8217;re offering on these:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june16\/june07.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Cheaper than Wheel of Fortune. And authentic in ways that the Wheel letters haven&#8217;t been for quite some time. Vanna just touches the rectangle now, she doesn&#8217;t even spin them around any more. <\/p>\n<p>The surplus store is interesting, but mostly office stuff. And the stuff that isn&#8217;t office stuff seems to be either almost-worn out or the sort of things you might not buy secondhand. I did get some pool paddles, though. And I would have stayed longer, there was that sale, if only to avoid this:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june16\/june08.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>We are overrun with packing paper. Someone came in and poured water on it or fed it after midnight or whatever makes paper multiple. It is overwhelming. There&#8217;s at least two full car loads of paper due to a trip to a recycling center. It has to be more than one car load. <\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s the tape. And the boxes. We are making good progress, though: <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june16\/june09.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m starting to hear the sounds that packing tape makes in my sleep, though, so I&#8217;m ready for that to be finished. <\/p>\n<p>We went on a bike ride this weekend. I saw a bridge and took a poorly composed, off the hip while pedaling-beneath-it photo for no reason:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june16\/june10.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>We made our way to one of the lakes, this one is named Lemon:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june16\/june11.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>This ride took us through four towns, I believe. (I&#8217;m not sure if we should distinguish Unionville from New Unionville.) And we enjoyed the rural scenery:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june16\/june12.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>And there was so much climbing! At least we didn&#8217;t have to go up that hill in the distance. (We&#8217;d already gone up that hill in the distance.) <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/june16\/june13.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I was vacuuming and wanted to make a joke about this Dyson.

Its seven-foot power cord was also an attractive selling point.<br \/>\nBut it has this giant orange ball!<\/p>\n<p>The Yankee points out I&#8217;m the only one that has trouble with it.
