Gone With The Wind...another story

So here's the picture, you have the following LARGE and HEAVY and USED appliances and objects of the kind. What to do with them when you live in a small town (pop. 28,000 overall but Olde Town maybe 1000) and they are not so obvious that the local thieves can get to them on your back porch in the last 3 1/2 months. What EXACTLY are they you might ask...well there's a Hotpoint Electric Range, 4 years old or so in good condition and yes, it works. Also there's a portable KitchenAid Dishwasher that is about 20 years old that also works, a pellet stove about 15 years old in ok condition too, a range hood that works, a mirrored vanity/er ah medicine cabinet that is in good shape. All free for the taking. I thought this through and realized all I REALLY HAD to do was move them into prominence in the side yard, front porch or sidewalk and see what happened. I did so yesterday afternoon, a lot of grunting and dragging and groaning later all were in place, wiped clean as I would wipe them and I closed the gate behind me and low and behold. In 10 minutes flat a nice lady came by and relieved us the vanity. The rest remained through the night. This morning about 10 a man suddenly showed up, stoned maybe...certainly, wordy, intelligent and a bit over-the-top loaded but wanting the Hotpoint Range/Oven.
So it disappeared down the street on a red trolley affair. Kelly and I went to the South 40 to look over the garden plot, went then to the Swamphouse and got the Armoire from her bedroom. We soon had it strapped down in the bed of the trusty Ford pickup and returned slowly to Morgan Street. What do you know...the PELLET Stove has gone now too! Whoopee! Sight unseen these things are being recycled into willing and wanton hands.

Also, note that the photo at the top of the page now changes like it used to do in France, I FINALLY hooked up the Logitech webcam and downloaded YAWCAM to enable FTPing it's images to our server for your perusal dear readers. It is pointed due East towards the rising sun over the not so distant church spire and downtown Suisun.

UPDATE 5/8/2010:
Only the Range hood and the Dishwasher remain as of 4pm Saturday. Oh well, have to haul them off to Goodwill Industries I guess.
