It seems that a couple of my neighborhood residents arrange a neighborhood garage sale twice a year.  It’s going on today and tomorrow from 8:00am to 4:00pm.  I decided that I’d take the dog for a walk during lunch today to avoid the worst of the heat (i.e. it was only 90°F instead of 95 when we left).  On the way back I made the observation that people at garage sales don’t know how to drive or park.  I was almost run down by one driver who was so distracted by the stuff on display that she couldn’t be arsed to stay on her side of the street.  At another house I had to avoid a car parked in the middle (!) of the road by someone who just couldn’t be bothered to park normally, such was the allure of whatever item caught his/her fancy.

I can only imagine what it’s going to be like tomorrow, since I’m sure most of the people will be here then.
