asking

This was posted on Craigslist yesterday:

Hello. I am looking for an empty or somewhat empty garage space where I can store 19 medium size boxes, almost entirely filled with books I’ve gathered through my life. They are currently in a garage in Idaho, but those friends are moving away and I need to find a resting place for the boxes here in San Luis Obispo. They would fit against an empty wall if you have one, the conditions of the garage are not important – lots of your stuff, dirt floor, spider webs, windowless, etc. I cannot pay much but it would be something where there’s now nothing. I would/will never come at strange hours, likely late mornings or earlier afternoons, and rarely at that.

These are books that have been away from me since a divorce in the spring of 2021. It would/will be a thrill to hold them again, and that can only happen if I find a space where they can rest their too-far-away selves here. I’m pretty sure there are a bunch of CD’s tucked in a box or two as well, and that means dancing (out from the garage) will be involved.

I’m responsible, I already have a grateful heart, and I am long-time sober. I’m only interested in this city. They’ve (we’ve) logged enough miles already. Thanks for your consideration.
