double the price

I heard an interesting idea, a hypothesis that suggested the biggest problem with selling products and services on the net, when an item doesn’t seem to be moving, then double the price. I got after the web guy, and we got the new prices in effect for the “future” Transit reports. No sooner had the new pricing been in effect than the orders started rolling in. Go figure. And it’s still a lot less expensive than any other report like it — better, too — who uses BBQ, Shakespeare, old trucks, and Richard III for analogies? Economic discussions reminds me of part of conversation I had with Pa Wetzel over the Xmas vacation, “These tech stocks, they’re just like the ‘energy companies’ were in the 70’s….” [Pa Wetzel was associated with the oil business at that time — he should know.] Yesterday was a quiet day at home, tucked away in my cozy little trailer, me, the fat cat, trying to stow away all the goods received at Xmas time. I spent a large portion of the day, sipping tea, and merrily working along on the trusty computer, but it doesn’t seem like I did much. Never did get around to doing that pile of laundry.
