Comments on: ESTATE SALE CONFIDENTIAL: TAXI DRIVERS AND WIDOWS http://mudvillemagazine.com/wordpress/2012/01/22/taxi-drivers-and-widows/ The Bug: The Collected Electronic Writings of Peter Schilling Jr. Sat, 04 May 2013 13:17:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.40 By: Ringtail http://mudvillemagazine.com/wordpress/2012/01/22/taxi-drivers-and-widows/#comment-50 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 01:43:49 +0000 http://mudvillemagazine.com/wordpress/?p=675#comment-50 I have to wonder, sadly, if a generation or two from now, the estate sales will contain much less of value, given that many modern homes are now furnished by Bed, Bath, and Beyond and IKEA. Will people seek out Pottery Barn wares as that special find? Also, no records, perhaps no books?

BTW, I’m looking for good cast iron cookware of all types. Will pay you back if you find something cool, and will pick up next time I’m in the vicinity.

Why would anyone want to know how many triples Tris Speaker hit? For that matter, why would anyone want to know about your estate sale expeditions? Different strokes for different folks we used to say. Its’s the kind of stuff that makes life interesting and tolerable. At the track we say “that’s what makes horse racing. ” I put my money on the bobtail nag, somebody bet on the bay.”

Incidentally, I can tell you where to get great new sheets- that have never been tainted with someone else’s emissions- for $39 any day. Or large cans of tomatoes for a buck, etc. Shopping for bargains is one of MY obsessions. Maybe I’ll start a blog one of these days…..
