While this is true in urban centers, it certainly isn't for those of us that live in
the boonies. I did acquire an Itellevision with an Adam tho. A local junk
warehouse also has a bunch of HP stuff stuck away on the 3rd floor gathering
dust that I have to catalogue for the list, since I know ziltch about HPs.
I was a kid in candyland on my recent trip to Vancouver BC.and returned
with my car stuffed with goodies. The number of yard sales were phenominal
and the biggest bonus was the yearly take-all garbage put-out. I plan to
make it a yearly event only next time I might take a trailer.

Love of the Goddess makes the poet go mad
he goes to his death and in death is made wise.
