Yard Sale

Watching my father run a yard sale is painful. He runs around like a chicken with his head cut off, putting more and more stuff out as quickly as possible since the first customers arrived before 7 since he did not put a start time in the newspaper ad, none of it is priced since he has no idea what it's worth and thinks it's possible to make money by letting the people make him their best offer...

Ah well, I suppose I should just be thankful if he doesn't trade it all for three magic beans.

Interesting tidbit...

For a long time now I've been convinced that there is a connection between hawaiian culture and celtic culture. I just found another point of similarity.

Both celtic triads talking about values, and hawaiian proverbs speaking of values, use terms that translate to "the true human" to refer to the ideal state of being for their own people, as in "the three manifestations of the true human are civility, generosity, and compassion".

Interesting turn of phrase to find on opposite sides of the world, isn't it?
