Houses, Kids, and DollarDollar Bills, Y’all

Morning
We saw two houses in the morning, both crap holes, both overpriced. One had a really fat, nice dude in it. The other was on pilings, and was full of whisky and shamrock.

Afternoon
After seeing a half-hour commercial from Dollar Bill’s Discount World a couple of weeks ago, I have wanted to go up to New Hampshire to see it. It’s simply a dollar store, but the owner seems to be a corny nut. So, seeing as we had no plans on Saturday, I suggested that we spend the day in New Hampshire or Maine…And if we were going North, we might as well hit Dollar Bill’s on the way, right? Right.

It was as I expected: tons of cheap crap. As a bonus, the nutty owner kept making corny announcements on the P/A System. While I wasn’t smirking over the announcements, I was smirking over the crap.

Without spending more than $20, we got coloring books for the nieces, ping pong paddles for my parents, a pizza pan, two sets of “sports maracas”, a giant gift bag, and two plastic bees on sticks to shove in the GF’s sister’s garden. Oh, and I got a Coke. The items that I passed up included were: shirts with wolves on them, anything with a wizard or indian on it, and an umbrella hat.

Evening
For a couple of hours in the afternoon, we tooled along exploring a little bit of NH, ending up at the GF’s sister’s house. Children are not only fun for making chalk drawings and playing, but I learned that they are just heavy enough to fix any problems by walking on your back.
