yard sale

2007.09.22
This man stopped by our yard sale hoping to find a few decorations for his bicycle.

At first I thought he was simply odd, but really I think he makes a conscious decision to portray himself as a funny character, like a clown. More complexly odd. I ought to have asked him about his mother (that's a therapist joke (nevermind)).

"no no no! no photograph please." Damn those yard sale paparazzi!

for her fans

A man of many moods. He poses like this every time I turn the camera in his direction. He's super-quick, with a great sense of armor.

Another pose *cue ominous track* ...or is it?

Long suffering eye roll + matching sandals = friends 4 ever!

You can probably tell that they aren't just friends. That's right - they're professional colleagues. It's obvious in this picture.

We're all tenants here. It's a really good house.

We wrapped up the yard sale before the neighbors called the cops. I made good coin.

Selling stuff for less then a tenth of what I paid for it helps me to remember to stop buying stuff.

Sheldon To be weird is a compliment to individualism.

The straw hat guy looks like a hoot!

Never buy retail.
