So this weekend is our annual Neighborhood garage sale.
We have about 200 houses in the subdivision. Today isn't real busy but tomorrow the streets are lined on both sides with cars. Blocking traffic and just all sorts of crazy to find that treasure for $.25
About three years ago I participated for one year to help my grown daughter sell off toys and clothes her kids have out grown.
What a total pain in the rear for what income it brings it.
I have stepped up my situational awareness program and weigh risk vs need. So this morning as I'm sitting in my office (aka the living room) trying to get reports completed for work, I'm constantly looking outside as slow moving cars drive past my house looking for bargains.
Is it really Thelma and Louise looking for a bargain or is it a car load of thieves casing the joint? It is probably the first part but my training wants me to yell "Freeze Dirtbag" to the little old lady in her Prius that has been driving by since 7:15 AM waiting for the sheet covered tabes to be open for business.
The old fart in me wants to yell "Get off my lawn"
Does anybody have any yard sale that went wrong stories to share?
Maybe I should move my office day to the nearest coffee shop.
