When I go a-saling, it's usually on a Saturday morning starting at about 8:30. In the thick of summer, I go every Saturday. Nobody around here would start their sales until 9 usually, sometimes even 10. I keep going until 11 or noon, because I'm either irritated at finding nothing, or broke, with a carload of stuff. Going a good 7 miles between sales really takes it out of you, though. The last time I went yardsaling, there was a neighborhood deal going, over fifty sales in one neighborhood. I hit 49 of them and only got some audiocassettes and a pair of pants.

I'd really rather not just move out of state and sticks for the sake of cheap games. It's not a gaming wasteland out here.. I mean, I did score a TG16 for FIVE BUCKS a couple months ago. My first one, I love it to death and back. Too bad none of the game resellers have anything but goddamn Kieth Courage for $20.

I think that TG16 has landed me in yardsale purgatory. I shall not find anything of its like for such a deal ever again. In fact, I may have burned so much of a lifetime's good luck that I will never find anything but Super Mario Brothers / Duck Hunt carts ever again.

God, now I'm rambling.

Now I'm done.

Thanks for the welcome, it does my heart good to see someone escape and make good on the outside!
