Obama promised us "Change", but he never said for the better, or for the worse....
This weekend we are going to have a garage sale. We have been staging "stuff" from our attic and inside our house for weeks now. It is a successful adventure for two reasons: 1) we dispose of gobs of "stuff" and 2) all that doesn't sell, doesn't go back into the house. I load all the remaining items into my truck and deliver it to charity.
Interesting though, are the types of people that visit your sale. There are the "dealers" which show up early and try to get "stuff" really cheap, so they can resell it. There are the people who need nothing, but enjoy hassling you for even lower prices- and then don't buy anything. Those are the ones that stand out, while the average Joes and Janes look about and buy very little- and mostly things they don't need. I guess this is a necessary thinning of our "stuff" and lightening of our load. We both enjoy watching people, like in an airport terminal or train station or, in this case, a garage sale. The main goal here is to be rid of this "stuff". If I manage to get some gas money in the process, so be it....
