obsessed
I have a new obsession: free stuff on craigslist. I blame Danny for this. Since we picked up at least $30 worth of gently used moving boxes on Monday, we’ve been scanning the listings looking for more treasure. It also gives us an idea of what’s being offered in case we want to get rid of some things on the fly.
Everyday, when we get home from work, I pull up the strangest, most interesting, and most bizarre stuff I found under the Free category. I look in the SFBay list, but I’m also checking out Austin and Seattle. Austin has, by far, the best weird free stuff. I knew my hometown was a winner.
Best of Austin (for the past week):
taxidermied turkey in full-flight (three feet long)
trampoline frame with all of the springs
broken space heater
xbox remote (was for xbox that was stolen)
free dead tree
Big Ol’ Satellite Dish & Steel Pole
bag of mens shoes
food
Bay area:
Dreamcast controller - broken
1990 Toyota truck owners manual
2 BROTHER RATS
FREE MANURE
