The end of May and it should be an amazing garage sale weekend.
Should be. Were it not for the snow and the rain that greeted me when I woke up.
My map, I'd drawn it up last night, Scarboro (annual parade of garage sales), another one at the Mt. Pleasant Community Center in the NW, that would be the day.
But this morning, the rain and the snow, I was pretty sure that Scarboro would call off their parade and so made my way the the Mt. Pleasant Community Center. Which was as well called off, trucks with farmers waiting in the parking lot, but the community center is locked, and there are so few cars waiting that you know it's not going to happen.
On the way back there's a large sale in front of Westworld Computers on Center St. N - I get off the bus and check it out. A few things, books, sodden in the rain and snow, videos, some new candles, a vintage camera, otherwise nothing. Volunteers staffing it, practically giving stuff away, they were hoping to capitalize on the success of the iPad, due to launch today, but it's nasty nasty out and they'll be glad to be rid of it all...
Week seven's a bust.
