Garage sailing in Duvall

Twit of the Day
I'm going to start featuring twits, mainly drivers. Our first contestant is WA plate 328 LZM, a purple Chrysler PT Cruiser, who doesn't understand that "yield" doesn't mean "try for a collision." This was at the merge lane right at the end of the WA-520 (Avondale Road), and this idiot just kept driving like he was blind. Good going, you're our first twit!

Our second twit isn't so bad, and was a day or so later; he just never signalled, all the way to Duvall. Dark (navy) blue extrawide truck, WA plate A96056U.

We finally got out to a few garage sales this Saturday, starting on our own street. Altogether we bought:
  1. Two (more) "deluxe" folding beach chairs and a wicker picnic basket and set, $10
  2. An Ikea desk; we put it on top of the car and I held it out the window, $40
  3. A Quartz clock and a camera bag (a spare one, padded for hiking trips), $5
We put the desk upstairs in the media room with my camera gear, frames, etc.; I put the legs on with my drill. No chair in there yet. We'll probably put the new computer there when we get it.
