As I have said before I live on a busy corner in a nice little small Mayberry type town. Whenever someone has a yard sale they always hang the sign from the telephone pole that sits on the corner in front of my house
Then for the next week folks are stopping in the middle, yes, I said in the middle of the intersection to read the sign to try to figure out where the yard sale is so they can go buy someone else's trash to add to the trash that they already own.
I like to sit on the porch, drinking my coffee, and watch the parade of mini-vans.
Sometimes I get lucky and someone asks me for directions.
This is the part I love.
No matter where the address is that they're looking for, I always give them directions to my bank. I figure if they've got money to buy junk with then they have money to put in my bank account.
Life is grand!

"Life is still just life"
This is a near-quote from my favorite book, Lonesome Dove , by Larry McMurtry. Augustus McCrae, a fun-loving old Texas Ranger speaks. "You'd be better off if you could just enjoy a poke once in a while." Augustus said, taking one of her hands in his and smoothing her fingers. "Life in San Fransisco is still just life. If you want one thing too much it's likely to be a disappointment. The healthy way is to learn to like the everyday things, like soft beds and buttermilk-and feisty gentlemen."
