Make me an offer

Is there any kind of city statute dictating the maximum length of a yard sale? I wonder because my neighbor is going on three weeks now. When Sunday evening rolls around, he (mostly) covers several large piles of junk with plastic and takes down the clothes hanging on the fence. He puts up a “CLOSED” sign until next Saturday morning. In the meantime, it looks like a festival of white trash. Does he really think that next week the stack of blown out speakers is going to go?

Also, in the spirit of selling things, I have earned my way to five more gmail invitations. Anybody still need one of these damn things? It seems that the market is a little saturated, such that one can’t make fifty bucks for ‘em on eBay anymore. So I’m just giving them away!

  1. I’m just curious – how exactly does one earn Gmail invitations? I use my account excessively, but I’ve only received three invitations.

  2. I don’t know if they’re actually “earned.” I sort of made that up. Maybe they have some formula, but maybe it’s just random.

  3. I’ve used mine to send a total of five emails, and checking it now for the first time in three months I find I have two invitations. Go figure.

  5. The good people at gmail are still giving me the things, so yes, there are still some invitations available. On its way, Dan.
