holy flea market crap-man!

Pops flew into Oakland today, so I left early to catch some shopping at my favorite flea market – Coliseum. Open seven days a week. No questions asked. 50 cent entrance fee.

This masterpiece that foreshadowed the current economic crisis was going for five bucks. A smoking hobo clown reading the Wall Street Journal? Yes I bought it!

Then I bought a box of old six pack holders for defunct sodas. Nowadays only beer comes in glass bottles and cardstock carriers. There are some gems but I thought I’d scan in the Tab ones, they remind me of my aunt.

Dad bought a german coin. He said he could double his money. He spent fifty cents on it, so he’ll break even after the cost of admission. It’s like there’s no way to make a buck lately. He blames the unions for the downfall of our economy. It should prove to be an interesting visit, as he explains that one to me.
