Our Career as LED salesmen has ended.

Today the Kadizzles ended the 7 day stint selling LED lights. The Commander could not take the crowds, the dust, and the noise any longer. Now that is off our bucket list. We hooked up the Earth Module and moved about 15 miles south to the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. Kofa is like another world. Now the module faces an incredible view with no one in site. The Commander is jumping at the chance to hike. The wind is a little strong, so perhaps tomorrow we will hike

One lesson learned from selling LEDs is the number of people poor, or broke by choice. If people made a few intelligent choices in their life about what they needed and what they did not they would not suffer from lack of income. However, when you see how easily vendors part people from their money with some useless item, it is clear why so many people are broke. People cannot separate what they need from some shiny item they think they want. Every busted flat person has a tattoo, a vanity license plate, several T Shirts with silly slogans, an earring or two, a couple of piercings, and a rat dog. Kadizzle met two guys making a fortune at this slummers paradise show who were dog hygienist. These guys were living the good life cleaning dogs teeth. The silly owners could not afford to clean their own teeth, but paid a small fortune to have the teeth of their dog cleaned.

Some vendors at the show go to Costco, buy an inventory, take it to the show, double the price, and what does not sell they take back to Costco. Does it get any better than that?

So many Americans think that if you have money left over at the end of a show, or at the end of the month you did something wrong. You need more fribbles, or a bigger truck.
