ok, enough of reality.

on friday i went to an estate sale of a veteran of WW2(i am pretty sure), who had worked for allis chalmers.(west allis and all that). small little house, but blame the stuff upon stuff. the basement had a ton of bolt and screws(BIG!). but he also had an old rifle. and someone was interested as was i so i learned it was a japanese rifle from WW2, with a bayonet.
well, let's just say they were using old arms. it looked more of WW1 or before vintage. mostly wood. and very simple.
he did have some really nice painted plates, but they wanted antique prices for them. not THAT nice.
i spent $2.50 on 2 pairs of shoe trees(ebay!) and a carved wood bird-for me. and i did NOT buy the japanese pottery chicken(painting a little too odd).
maybe i should have bought that old book from the cheese manufacture assosciations meeting.
