Spotted this around the corner from Oso Negro in Nelson - The Thingery. A lending library for things. I've thought of the same for Calgary, for any suburb where you have the endless repetition of leafblowers, snowblowers, rakes, shovels, commonly used garden tools - who's common usage might amount to 4 or 5 outings per year - makes more sense than everyone in the neighborhood filling up their garages with the same, mostly unused tools.
But in Nelson someone had the bright idea and it gets done.

Excuse the crummy photo, taken through a glass cabinet at the Salvation Army where they're currently up on silent auction.
Red wooden lacquered geisha shoes, with mother of pearl inlaid herons (look close where the soles of the feet go). And little bells that tell you when she's coming...charming!

A garage sale in New Denver, nothing of value, then, poking around the garage I found this box:
Which was damned inspiring, filled with old silver and Indian Head pennies, Silver dimes and dollars.
Predictably it wasn't for sale.

A 16 second meditation. The sound is very relaxing.
