Today, we focus on two pieces of furniture, bought as a set. Sam Patterson claims this couch is the "comfiest one in the Writing Center." Pretty bold claim, but I think we should trust her on it.
Sam likes the couch because you sink into in it. It seems like an ideal spot to do some homework, yet still take part in a conversation if you want.
Dr. Bob got both the couch Sam is sitting on along with the chair (broken but still functional) for $25 (I see a trend here) at a garage sale. This sale was on the same street Dr. Bob and his wife live on (north of their house). Dr. Bob chuckled as he explained that this furniture was purchased north of his house and the table and chairs featured last week were bought on the same street, but south of his house.
What was also funny about this purchase was that the woman holding the garage sale had not originally priced the couch and chair for only $25. Dr. Bob arrived at the very end of the sale and it appeared that the woman simply did not want to bring anything back inside the house. While Dr. Bob had began by bidding on only the couch, the chair was somewhat of an added bonus.
