STORAGE

STORAGE.  WE ALL NEED SOME.  SOME OF US MORE THAN OTHERS. SO WE WATCH ADS ON THE TV OR IN THE PAPER IF YOU READ ONE, OR IN MAGAZINES WHERE THEY ADVERTISE ALL THESE NICE STORAGE IDEAS.
However, I am going to address a different kind of storage.
As you travel the highways and byways of this country, do you ever pay attention to the signs and barrels along the road. You know, those signs and barrels that indicate that road work is being done.  But no roadwork is in progress and if there was, it has been finished for a while. But the signs and barrels are still in place.  
And then one day they are gone, and if you are paying attention, you will realize that they have been picked up and moved to an active road work area. Until that job is finished and they remain in place, until they disappear, for the same reason as mentioned above. So why are they just left in place until the next job comes along.
STORAGE.  Yep, storage. It is cheaper to "store" them along the road until the next job is active. That way there is no storage fee or no need for a building or yard to store all those signs and barrels and they don't have to handle them twice or three times. Just once. Pick them up and move them to the new job.  Storage problem taken care of.
AND THAT'S THE VIEW FROM THE DITCH BANK
