Surplus Stores

One of little things I love about working on a college campus is the surplus sales. The surplus storage area is a huge space filled with outdated computer components, athletic apparel, lab glassware, office chairs, bookcases, and all the other flotsam and jetsam you would expect to find at a public funded institution. It's dimly lit and has a concrete floor so it's like being in the biggest basement ever. My latest fishing trip resulted in my acquiring a mint green (think Martha Stewart) steelcase filing cabinet and a book on McCarthyism in America.
