Last weekend was the city-wide garage sale in Cupertino. I stopped by in the afternoon when some were already closing up, having sold most everything. However, I did find a few where the sellers were still putting out stuff. I’m always looking for photo props.

One lady saw me picking through her stufffed animals (more on that another day), and decided I needed the furry chicken. Ah, but it was much more, it was a dancing chicken. To the great amusement of a family member in the car, she began to gyrate after she turned the thing on. She danced and whirled around till I got embarrassed, and said no, thanks.

So what did I get elsewhere? Two lovely plates with Greek gods on them and an African instrument. Walking in the door back home, I was engrossed in figuring out how the instrument worked, forgetting the plates clutched in the other hand. Which slid to the floor and broke into at least 50 pieces.

Fortunately, a family member managed to glue most of them back together.
