What's in store(s) for you? (A hole lot, of nothing)

Come to find out: Which is what you probably did today, being prompted by a few prompts, at/near the end of last post, an add-on. A common ploy, to keep you coming back. But this is more of a self-reflection, after doing some early spring cleaning...an initial de-clutter before really getting serious...

By George! Commonly employed by the early Brits (well, as far back as the 1600's according to my secret sauce, source) as a more acceptable exclamation of shock or disbelief than "By God!" One that I found myself for more than one reason employing out loud, to no one in particular (me being the driver sans passengers), when out and about, yesterday. An almost knee jerk of an utterance, which must have looked a bit silly from the standpoint of other drivers (a few of which gave me what me now call the "stink eye" 😠) while I myself must have been revealing a show of disgust...regarding what was not actually, literally, showing...

Buy George! As I said, more than one reason this ex-claim came to me...almost involuntarily. Bringing to mind one of my favorite George Carlin routines, regarding needing a bigger space (house) because you have so much "stuff" If he could only see what was coming, how so many got around taking on a second, third mortgage...

Behind closed doors: And away from what, in this context, are commonly employed, "peering eyes", what I was hyper-focused on (at least when I came to a complete stop), trying to imagine what might be residing on the other side. Like what we a "school kids" did when we encountered "no admittance" -- on the doors of the room where our playground "stuff" was held (had to work this in to maintain relevance) but where, rumor had it, was where some of the staff took what used to be called a "smoking break". And, closer to home, where the family secrets, heirlooms, "family jewels" were stowed, stashed, otherwise "stuffed away" No longer...

Gorge US, George! While pronounced the same way, as when the ring announcer announced the arrival of the professional wrestler, whose schtick included a HUGE wardrobe which of course required storage...somewhere, off the premises...here it's to signal an unsatiable appetite around these parts for "stuff" that, after filling all our cavities -- houses, garage, cars, trucks, boats, wagons (and anything else you can barely fit in the garage due to "stuff" filling it...to the brim), someone with a HUGE storehouse of imagination, awareness of all these vast store-rooms of containers containing "stuff" that could no longer be contained..."on the premises" -- one might even catch a code...violation...

NIMBY! You thought it just pertained to a community rising in opposition "to infrastructure developments...landfills...nuclear reactors...in their locale, close to home..." but eventually came to encapsulate the containment of "stuff" as well, as in all kinds of unsightly things just "strewn about" your neighbors' yards...blocking the view...it became something very...

"PERSONAL" Storage: Also coming under the heading of "Public, You Haul..." and curiously, given its NIMBY nature, found on the web under "Storage facilities near you..." From the looks of it, which caught my gaze, had me craning my neck to look above and beyond, "they" are pushing the code to the limit, given that there is now one on just about every corner, adjacent to the Starbucks, across the street from McDonalds -- neither of which apparently lobbied enough to get what's referred to in some locales as a "variance", allowing builders to get around local ordinances...which explains why these so-called "personal" structures containing "stuff" no-on can even account for, have had to go to such lengths and heights, are now blotting out the view...A condition that would not, of course, be complete without...

SUPER container ships, carrying so much cargo, passengers who have gorged themselves, to the point of not even noticing, let alone appreciating, anything "The View" has to offer. As well as...

Store-fronts: Which now only contain window dressing...turns out it's not Amazon that has resulted in less "stuff" in stores but that we've bought up almost everything in sight and now have a place to store it -- off site...

Have a SUPER Tuesday and come back to see if you have the SUPER qualifications of a SUPER-visor...
