We're definitely back in the land of the thrift.
Back in the hudson valley people had yard sales instead of jobs.
Everyone was out to make a buck reselling dusty crap.
However, when i have a yard sale i get just as much of a kick out of selling someone a coffeemaker for 50 cents as i do out of finding one when i need it. Maybe its my midwestern upbringing, becuase people here LOVE to sell their junk to you for a bargain. I had almost forgotten the thrill of a GREAT thrift find, like this glass coffee carafe that still had its original tags!

On a side note, I had no idea that Palm Springs had an Aerial Tramway, or that Oklahoma is known for "Indians!" that can do that 80s Robot dance.
