Operation Declutterize a Success

The yard sale is over, and it was a success. I really don't see how anyone found a park as most of the morning there were cars parked on both sides of the street for as far as I could see. We had lots of people buying stuff and then saying, "Now if I could just find my car..." I guess there's good and bad to big neighborhood yard sales.

We did better than last year and made about $412 and Delaney and Victoria made enough money selling drinks to buy the Robots they wanted, Fender and Rodney Copperbottom.

I had a life-sized cardboard standup of Michael Jordan for sale. It's one of those Gatorade promotional displays. Several people were interested in it, but it didn't sell. The funniest thing was to hear people refer to him as "Michael Jackson" and "Shaq". The woman who called him Shaq just kept saying it over and over and I couldn't bring myself to correct her.

Then, just minutes after we had boxed up the stuff that didn't sell, a dump truck arrived with twelve yards of mulch for us. The mulch mountain.
