For all your vampire slaying needs!!
Yesterday The Man (AKA "Dutch") and the warehouse manager ("Clayle") told me to meet them at the warehouse (for hazing? to induct me into the REAL business of transporting black market kidneys? To knock me out and steal MY kidneys as part of the hazing?!). Now this was an adventure because the directions included at least one street neither of them could pronounce better than to give me a general idea of the number of syllables in the name, but it sounded somewhat like "Toreador" to me. Eventually while stopped at the signal for "Calle Amanecer" I said to myself "Toreador, Calle Amanecer, Toreador, Calle Amanecer, Torea..." and decided it sounded possible, and it turned out to be correct.
Now first of all let me illuminate the subject of Clayle. He talks with an ambiguous country drawl and has the matching mustache. When a motercycle goes by he will completely lose his train of thought, and he can mispronounce anything. His primary phone number is his cell phone and if you call his alternate number on the phone list you'll get a church, and they'll know where he is. And when you least expect it he'll talk about something he knit.
Anyway, so I went to the warehouse, and it turns out we were moving boxes from one warehouse to another. So we did that from noon till 3:30, with an hour break, in which Dutch bought us all lunch, and a candy bar (actually Clayle insisted on paying for the candy bars and beat Dutch to the draw with the money), I got a rolo.
After we finished all that, I proceeded to the yarn store, with a short stop at home which was on the way. I spent the next three hours putting yarn on the internet.
Today I'm going to need to take more pictures.

I think we have a lot of hard to find knitting paraphenalia. check out our store website, or even better, ensure my job security by bidding on the yarn we have up on ebay.
