One man's treasure

There was a neighborhood rummage sale yesterday, where old, unwanted possessions were redistributed among the residents of Edgewater. At some yards, you could tell they just weren't in the spirit -- how much did they really want to get rid of that electric typewriter that they priced at $30?

For fifty cents, I bought myself a paperback copy of Isaac Bashevis Singer's Gimpel The Fool, a collection of short stories translated from Yiddish by the late Chicagoan Saul Bellow, among others. I also found an artist's posable manikin.
