The Sign

Would you stop for a sign like this?!
I was cruising down the road, yesterday, when this sign caught my eye. Wasn't sure what it was all about...was the dump in this direction?! I just had to turn around and see for myself. As I headed down the road and turned into a very long driveway, I was feeling very wary! What was I going to find?
After my run-in with the drunk, last year, living in a trailer full of junk, I was feeling a little on edge... His sign looked a bit similar.

As I rounded the bend in the driveway near the house, trailer house, I saw a huge shed full of junk! My heart was racing, I was nervous but my curiosity got the best of me and I tentatively stepped out only to be rushed at by a very large black dog! He looked friendly though and I didn't back down. Besides, I wasn't going to let him get between me and that junk! He tried slobbering all over me while I muttered under my breath to get away...didn't want to offend whoever lived in this place...

I stepped into the shed, the size of a pole-barn and looked around. No one in sight. I still felt a little nervous, until I spotted the treasures! Junk was piled from the floor to ceiling. This was my day! Then my heart began to race in excitement. This place was cool! I scanned the overgrown yard, heaped with junk for signs of life when a middle aged woman appeared. She had been sitting near the house on the ground amidst some junk. As she walked toward me, I immediately brought out the usual stereotypes that you'd expect of such a junky place, expecting her to be missing teeth and "spoking" a whole different language - but much to my pleasant surprise she was a very nice and normal person.

We chatted all the while I dug! She has 7 kids and twenty something grandkids and 15 greatgrandkids! And she's still farely young. I never asked if she was a Finn... She may have been. She wasn't a Lastadian or anything because she mentioned drinking a Martini downtown (Minneapolis) with her kids in tow when she was younger. (Is that normal?!) LOL. Seriously, though she was. And I felt like I'd hit the jackpot! Filled the van for about 10 bucks. Proof is below...
