As per Forest Gump, I call Garage Sales a Box of Chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get. I find the occasional gem and I’m looking for lawn mowing shirts every year. My neighbor who is a nice old very proficient Jack of damn near every trade has an outbuilding full of tools he has purchased at garage sales for decades. And my wife and I both read. A lot. Garage sales have been an outstanding source of reading material. And for me that includes 40 year old Readers Digests and TV Guides. My life is just a bundle of excitement.
