I'd been watching them for miles as we drove down the highway late one summer Saturday night.  The white beams made a pretty pattern in the sky; I didn't even resent the fact that the resulting light pollution was ruining any chance I might have had to see a shooting star from the Perseid meteor shower.

Maybe that's because I knew that they were signaling a sale.  You know I like those!

I commented to my husband, "We're getting closer to those searchlights.  I wonder where they are?"

Since he was the one driving, it scared me a little when he replied, "What searchlights?"

Yikes.

A few miles later we found the source of the lights:  a local auto dealership's tent sale.  Two days later we dropped off my husband's car for maintenance at that same dealership--and the sale must have been a success, because what had been a full parking lot on Saturday night was fairly empty Monday morning.
