Thought I Was Gonna Be Skunked . . .

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.
