Huge BLACKFRIDAY Comics and Books Sale Howdy! It is not an uncommon occurrence for advance weather reports around here to be a bit overblown. When they say 10"-12" inches of snow we oftentimes actually end up with just wet roads, and 3" in the grass. Today, however, here in Boulder we have the opposite case, as we were told to expect 10"-12" last night, and instead received 16"-18". After a brisk wind arrived early this morning, our 500' driveway to our farmhouse is now drifted completely shut, with some drifts as high as 36". Yow... Chuck brushing off the cars. While not being able to drive in to work today is going to force me to get some much-needed rest, I can't help but worry a bit, too, as we are just now entering into our critical holiday gifts purchasing season at Mile High Comics. In anticipation of this inevitable seasonal surge in demand we have been purchasing collections filled with rare and highly desirable comics and collectibles with mad abandon for the past several months, fully expecting that our surge to begin starting this week. Instead, we are only (barely) able to open the Jason St. Mega-Store today because Will Moulton made the wise decision to stay last night at the Motel 6, on nearby Federal Blvd. If we take in a total of $100 today at our giant store, it will be a miracle. Depth of the snow If all this snow-driven angst seems like no big deal, please understand that almost all small family-owned local businesses live from paycheck-to-paycheck. We are not sitting in some big pile of cash reserves, or even a line of credit with a bank. Whatever we receive from online orders that day, or from walk-in customers at Jason St., is all that we have to cover our bills. Under normal circumstances, that is no big deal, as we have learned quite well how to tighten our belts during slower times. Being nearly completely shut down at the store, however, is more than a bit disconcerting. Snow in Boulde Whatever the case may be, our annual Black Friday holiday sale in the store still begins today, and runs through next Tuesday.
