Picked Over Garage Sales . . .

Seems like nothing but picked over garage sales all summer.  Last couple days have been no different.  Maybe I should try a different town or two.  

Yesterday, there were two garage sales advertised.  I got up late but decided to check them out anyway.  The first was a couple blocks over.  Nothing there.  Never seems to be anything good in that neighborhood . . . and it seems like they always have the same type of stuff.  Next sale was in Montpelier.  Bought a couple items . . . nothing special.  The best part of going to Montpelier was the 3.29 gas . . . twenty cents cheaper than Bryan.  Needless to say, the tank was topped off.

Nothing special about this shed in a bean field . . . It just seemed like it should have its pic taken. 

There were more garage sales this morning.  Bought a couple items . . . nothing special.  A lot like yesterday.  Found a 10 AM sale around 9:30.  The lady ran me off before I got up the driveway.  Came upon a 9 AM sale at about 8:40.  There were people there buying stuff, so I stopped.  Found a tub of Legos.  The lady said it was a 9 AM sale and she wasn't really open or ready yet and couldn't sell me the Legos unless I had correct change.  I didn't, so I left empty handed.  Seems she had to go to the bank for change.  Since the banks around here open at 9, I'm thinkin that part should have been done yesterday . . .  Some people have no clue on how to do things.

The county is remodeling a building that was a grocery store.  The Sheriff dept., EMT office and other county offices are going to be housed there.  Looks to me that they were removing asphalt and found a couple boulders.  I'm sure that made that contractor happy . . . extra time to dig up the boulders, bringin in fill dirt, then wonderin what to do with them.  

A front page story in the local newspaper this week, told of consistent sightings of a couple eagles at the retention pond. No one has spotted any nests anywhere yet.   I may hafta go out there early some morning an 'camp out' there with my camera.
