It's the thrill that people love. Louise has a very good job but
still loves the "thrill of the hunt." We took last summer off and
did some short road trips through Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
During December I was going crazy shipping the stuff we sold on ebay.
It paid for all our traveling and we got lots of things we kept,
including loads of cookbooks. We found a box sale and spent 20 bucks.
We're still selling some things, but have probably made 500 bucks on
that sale alone.
