Today was the Annual Edon Garage Sales. There were 39 sales on the list. I found 34 of them. It took me nearly 20 sales before I found something to buy . . . And I probably wouldn't have bought that 50 cent little kid's ball glove if I wasn't gettin worried about being 'skunked.' It was sale after sale of little kids clothes. I finally started to find stuff to buy. I spent a grand total of $6.00 for six separate items. The 25 cent bag of crayons will go to the YMCA day care/pre school program. I figger they will eventually put up a monument of a crayon in my honor. Hey, ya gotta what recognition ya can . . .
Stuff was goin really cheap. More than one person told me they wanted to get rid of stuff. Checked some of the items on eBay and I think that $6 investment could get me a pretty nice return. Time will tell.
At one sale I heard a voice say, "Well, hi there!" Turns out the owner of the voice is the manager of the local Circle K. She was at her mother-in-law's house selling some of her kids' too small clothes. I asked why she didn't bring one of the Circle K coffee machines to the sale. I would've bought a cup . . .
Got a lot of rain overnight. I think the Edon area got a lot more than I did . . . and I got almost 2". There were many, many places where the water was over the road. Needless to say, I came home with one, very muddy truck.
I was washing it in my drive a little while ago. The guy across the street started mowing his yard. And, of course, it started raining. I thought to myself, "I can see the headlines. Neighbors argue over who caused it to rain . . . the guy washing his truck or the guy mowing his lawn. Police called to quell the argument."
It was just a few drops and nothing happened.
