Watching helium deflate...

Hustled down I-10 to the office to tap into the helium machine.  Gotta have balloons if you're going to put your time into an Open House in the real estate business...  Of course, by now, the prediction of rain has become a total reality.  I run into the office with 10 balloons in my pocket.  5 at the intersection of Jefferson and Brentwood and 5 at the house.  In reality, 2 will be gone to "spillage".
It's now a steady rain as I launch the first balloons at the intersection, and travel up to the subject property where there is an automobile, sitting in the rain, at the property!  Need exudes from the auto.  It's a senior couple and the first thing that Mr. says, is, "where is the storage area in the garage?  Not available, but what do you need to store?  Lawn mower, equipment, so let's look at the rest of the house. And, it continues through the next couple, who actually feel some attraction to the property.  Like the  master bedroom, really like the living area, expecially, the electrical plug in the floor.  (whatever it takes!) And, on. 
Then, the couple that actually seemed to like the house.  He especially liked the fact that he would be able to "weed eat" the back yard.  Never even have to have a real mower!  Could be.  Then the car full of ladies.  Who knows, but one needed the bath room, and even though there was no toilet tissue (who really takes the last roll of toilet tissue when you move? what is that?) I happened to have some tissues to share in my pocket.  Compliant, they used and left, each one clutching my business card as they left.  I'm waiting by the telephone for their call for help!
I think I'll make a Chili with chalupas for the lunch bunch.  Wednesday Margarita's for lunch. My place, be there or be square.
