And, an early garage sale, advertised on the "I love Nelson" website. Most of it is just shit, randomly priced, far above what you'd get the same thing for at the dollar store, just random, stupid pricing.
But she has these:
Perfect condition, Antique snowshoes. Perfect for a hunting lodge, cabin, restaurant, I could give to the boy, for his mother, companion pieces to the Antique Skis I gave him (which they displayed to good effect).
But she won't give a price, wants to look it up online first. I do it for her, max, $200, I'm only offering - max - $50 - but I can't offer, don't want to rip her off, let her test the waters first. I'll swing by tomorrow, see if she's done her research, if they're still there then maybe I'll pounce...

I like Sir Walter Scott. He gets a bad rap for his romances, they were good, competent, of the time, period pieces, he was reasonable, intelligent, he did well, why not?
Picked this up in a dollar bin. Good so far.
If only I could have found a first edition, or at least one with a less garishly illustrated cover...

...And upon my agreement to the charges the nurses pull out another check-box ticket, this one is for me, I've some 20-odd days left, and would I mind paying for the services I've used so far...

Spotted these around town leading up to Canada Day. You take any political stance here and you'll find some disciples, I'm not disagreeing, but it seems we've got a lot more pressing problems...
