World's Longest Yard Sale

Today is day 3 of our journey in the World's Largest Yard Sale. My trek has spanned 5 states - Alabama to Ohio. Presently somewhere in Tennessee, we have joined 50 thousand people looking at 50 thousand other people's unwanted possessions.

These are items I saw for sell today:

Tennessee is big on selling previously worn shoes for less then a dollar a pair. It is a great deal if you don't mind footwear once donned by hillbillies.

A fax machine selling for $1.50. For three days this fax machine has been left out in the weather. The sales person says the fax machine does not work but would make a good boat anchor. The salesman also wears footwear once donned by hillbillies.

For two bucks a booth offers a headless barbie doll. It is part of "Barbie's tea time party." I asked the owner, "This Barbie has no head, how can she drink tea?" He knocked a dollar off the price.

More later.

Emmett
