The Crazy State of Maine

I am just wondering how many states in our union have a law such as Maine where you can not buy alcohol from 1 am until 9 am Sunday morning?  I am sure that this really helps our alcoholism problem in our fine state, not to mention the fact that the state loses revenue on every dime that is not spent during this time.  When visiting other states I notice 24 hour liquor sales and they do not seem to be in the financial trouble Maine is in.  Must have been some man in green pants and a woman in a mumu that made this decision.....I thought prohibition was repealed.......

Yes, at the yard sale.

One of the places we stop has all these boxes with everything for a dollar.  I don't think I would trust the condoms.....


2011 15 Mile Yard Sale Cornville Maine

Our adventure started with a list from my sister of "wishes".  The first house we drive by has an inflatable tow behind for her boat for $50!  But that is not even the crazy part.  Where do I begin?  Grab bags, adult diapers, and condoms?  You can find anything at a yardsale.  3 dingys, 4 pairs of roller skates, walkers, 2 different suspenders (Kati bought the rainbow ones), boats, campers, 3 Oreck vacuums, golf clubs, plants, french fries, hot dogs, and in the middle a bakery with fresh pies (I bought a blueberry pie).  Not to mention the people, lots of crack, smoking and one person with blue hair (not the gray kind), kid on a leash, one adult many kids, a goat riding in the back of a truck, tucker dogs, a person with a full body mosquito net, the list goes on.  Check out the photos....

Yard sale boat

Package deal boat free trailer $325

  The sign reads "Boat Free, Trailer $325"  Sounds like a deal to me.

Grab bag

Seriously at a garage sale?  What could possibly be in that grab bag.......
