127 Sale - Take 2 - Day 2

Now that car space is at a premium we are much more picky about what we buy. Kinda.

Funniest item: hand carved dog pooping with sign that said "no dumping"

Signs of note: "Man Sale", "Guns and Ammo", people who aren't ashamed of what they are selling and people who did not use the speak and spell as a child (see below)




Interesting person: Met Mr. Hoff, a 62 year old self proclaimed local history buff who proceeded to let us know (among MANY other things) that St. Mary's Lake is man-made and those who dug it did do for 25 cents per day plus a drink of alcohol and they used to drill for oil in the lake. Mr. Hoff carries around copies of his family tree in his truck and can trace his roots in the US back to 1644. (youtube video to follow soon)

Overheard: "I don't even own a 9 mm but I buy ammo whenever I see it 'cause I have the right to protect my property and when they take that away from me..."

New vocabulary: "zukes" = zucchinis and "maters" = tomatoes. Also, WTF is apparently now widely accepted among everyone as part of the English language



Did not buy: vintage Playboy puzzle

Bought: more video games, Mr Men figures, Scooby Doo books, Super Mario figures and more

Money spent: a lot less than yesterday
