Walking the Right of Way

I was feeling recovered from the trip today, so it was time for a rummage trip. We first stopped at a few local garage sales, where you can always find something cool. It's weird how many things you own that you'll never use, but seem like you need to keep. I always seem to find more, and this time it was games. One spot had a number of old Parker Brother's card games, like Mille Bornes, Waterworks and Pit that caught my eye, and for 50 cents, it was too good to pass up. Laura had more success at some thrift stores of Goodwill and St. Vincent De Paul's, finding some nice tops and and outfits for the fall, and I picked up a few more cheap games, most importantly, Mastermind.

To relax this evening, we picked up The Station Agent. It is a good quiet movie about making friends, learning about others, and how much we're willing to let our friends help us and look past our oddities. We recommend it for both train-lovers and train-haters alike (although we don't know any train-haters...).
