Hot July Sunday Afternoon, Downtown Marietta, Ga










Did Brumby Chair Company retail store close?








It was pleasant downtown.  We ate the Company Salad outside Marietta Pizza.  There was a slight breeze that felt very good.
All was going nice until a guy walked by with a Marine Tee shirt on.  He was nice, jovial, and agreeable.  Then he moved in for the kill.  He told us a very sad story about his two grandkids’ parents lost their lives and now he needed some money to be able to start their new  home with him off right.
We declined, saying we are retired with a limited income.  So, he applied more serious consequences of what might happen to his grandchildren, getting lost in the foster-care system
The guy should have been a professional salesman with a time-sharing outfit.  He knew all the moves and had answers one step ahead of us.
Again, we said no.
To make a long story short we gave him a twenty and got his blessing….. funny, once he got the money he didn’t ask us for our address to pay us “double back” like he promised.
