We went for a walk downtown yesterday morning before going to work and were surprised to see the changes beginning to take place. The season ending sales are beginning at most of the stores, especially at the clothing and specialty merchant shops. There were racks of clothes outside many of the stores and when we went into some of them, we saw merchandise that was marked down 50% or more. There also were a few stores that had "Business for Sale" signs in the window that were not there before. We suppose this is a natural event in town each year as these merchants need to make most of their money during the warm months of May through September, and probably starve during the other, colder, winter months. If a business doesn't make enough money to carry them over, they have to sell. There certainly is a large number of people coming through here in the warm months though - if our zero vacancy rate is any indication.
The new (replacement) part for the inner skylight arrived yesterday so I'm sure I will be installing that sometime this week. Remember the original part had damage on the side, so Doubletree RV sent a free replacement. This skylight is the one that is on the ceiling above our shower. There is a solid dome skylight on the roof that covers this one, and it is in fine condition.
Day 4 of our work week is today and we still don't know what we will do for our weekend this week. We want to go to Jackson and the Tetons, but we are having trouble finding a place to stay that is under $150 a night. That is a big nut to swallow, especially after staying in Riverton at the Holiday Inn last week for our employee rate of $39. Maybe the rates will go down if we wait until after September 1. That's about it for now...
