Recently Patsy has really gotten into TruTV and is intrigued by Hard Core Pawn Stars. Mainers pronounce pawn "porn" so our friends thought that we were were watching pornography. Well, here is Patsy outside the Pawn shop on this TV program, American Jewelry and Loan in Detroit, thanks to David and Nancy for taking us there. You can see to the right some of the friends, Hector and Leon, he has made upon entering the establishment. 
Patsy is at the back of the line entering the Pawn Shop. As you can see everyone is either pawning something or trying to get something out of pawn
Patsy noticed this item on the show and thought that it might make a nice memento to bring home but I said it was too large to fit into the car so he couldn't get it. As you can see he is in true disbelief that I would say such a thing

We met a couple of regulars in the store, Trayvon and Tashaonda, Patsy took a real liking to them
one of the workers but this guy has signed no disclaimers so he could give me the real info
one of the sales persons Patsy favor on the program
Someone arguing with Les, the owner of the shop and star of the program, wants an item that was pawned but couldn't produce the receipt for the item. The bodyguard asked me not take any more pictures as things were starting to heat up 
Finally Patsy is meeting Les. he is telling Les that he has travelled 4000 miles to meet him and see the shop. Patsy is truly excited to be in the establishment and meet the owner. It was on his "Bucket List."
Les' comment to Patsy about traveling 4000 miles to see him and the shop, "You're an idiot!!!" Patsy was totally dismayed with his comment. In fact you can see that he is contesting that comment.
After a little make up talk, we see both of them smiling
This evening we went to the theater in Chelsea to see Superior Donuts
The fellow on the left owns the donut shop and was a draft dodger during the Vietnam War. He came home when Carter pardoned them, fell in love with a woman and had a daughter . He left that relationship and didn't keep in contact with his family until his wife died. His daughter let him know but be couldn't reunite with her.
The boy on the right applies for a job at the donut shop and John hires him. John eventually is able to form a bond with the boy. I really enjoyed the play. There were some funny incidents to lighten up a serious topic.
My cousin, Nancy, and her husband, David, waiting to see the play.
