<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 1577529, member: 78"]Hi Joe,</p><p> I used to do the Vermont small local stores several times a year in the 1970s. Then the major highways moved in and the local stores are closed. I then started to do local Canadian stores in the late 1970s. Once I went to many yard sales my car was stuffed with bags with one saucer in one bag, a lot of pitchers in a box and other stuff just wrapped in paper when I tell you the car was stuffed after a long weekend. Coming back through customs the officials just shook their heads when I pulled up. They opened a few bags and then backed away from me. I guess they thought I was a'Bag man" and insane also. I could hear them whispering about what they should do. They decided just to wave me on and let me be someone else's problem.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
