I was making one of my weekly stops to the local St. Vincent De Paul store. I always seem to find a treasure there. It is expected that you have to file through alot of smelly, dirty things before you find the prize that you want to take home. The hunt is part of the fun. When I entered the side door, I was surprised to see the staff in hustle mode. (No offense, but they are never in high gear.) I looked around and noticed that glasses were aligned on the shelf, clothes were straightened, and things were organized. I couldn’t stand it, I HAD to ask. “Why is everything looking so uncluttered and fresh?” The woman told me they were cleaning for the people who will be traveling here for the C.M. Russell Art Auction. At first I thought, that is smart for a business to freshen up for tourists. Next thought…are people who fly here from cities to don their Stetson hats, Tony Lama’s and Wrangler’s for one weekend a year going to run to the local Vinny’s store? They come here to spend thousands on works of art, yet they want to touch all the second hand, chipped merchandise from a junk store? It is nice the crew at St. Vincent’s were making the effort, but c’mon, really?
