I've been checking estate sales the last couple of weeks. Looking for anything neat for the house or to resale. The last one was in Colony Woods in Chapel Hill. I think my old roomate Cal was brought home from the hospital (birth) to one of these two houses. Sorry, the pics ain't so hot. I figured folks might not be too thrilled with some dude stopping and taking photos of their residence. Anyway, did I nail it?
There isn't too much to do when you're waiting for the doors to open. It's pretty much pre-estate sale routine to eat a banana, drink coffee, listen to NPR, and take pictures of myself.
This particular time I didn't really find anything that I was interested in. Last week I missed out on a vintage Knoll Bertoia Wire Chair for 12 bucks. Someone had swiped the tag b4 I could get to it. Should've headed to the basement first. Anyway, after two weekends of getting up early on Saturday, milling around two estate sales and a huge rummage sale, all I ended up buying was this Cobra H.I.S.S. for 50 cents:
Duane understands.

Tell me there were two!
Turns out I was about 5 houses down from Cal's actual first home. Oh well.
