With a moving truck coming in 5 days, this will be the last WTF Wednesday from Western NC, and may be the last one for a few weeks, depending on...well...everything! Luckily my last thrift trip was WTFruitful.
Tongue out Tuesday.
Anybody know a mature person? I don't.
She was all hair and laces.
I think I've posted this same breakdance angel before (shocked it hasn't sold) but along with the dangling ledge cat and piles of crap, it was a WTF scene.
Hello driving down the road with the driver's door open, possibly fastened by bungee.
Hello hand drawn poster directing people to "Follow Poker Game Joseph Penley Facebook Page." (I googled and found nothing.)
Last but not least, last night was a pretty big WTF, at least for the political pundits of this country. 6 years ago I posted my thoughts on Donald Trump in relation to a Golf Channel spot I'd seen on his Scottish course. Hard to believe he will be Commander in Chief in January, but there we are. As for advice I would give to children today, I'd say - little girls and little boys can be whatever they dream, but remember - "Cheaters never win and winners never cheat." If you cheat on a spelling test, on a bar exam, in the Tour de France, in a Primary election - and you are caught - you should expect expulsion. That the current chair of the DNC, Donna Brazile, who replaced Debbie Wasserman Schultz after her dishonorable discharge in July for failing her duty to remain neutral, fed debate questions to Hillary and kept (still keeps) her job as DNC chair tells me all I need to know about the establishment. They should not have colluded with media to elevate Donald Trump as a scheme to win. They should have nominated Bernie, the people's choice. Any negative consequences of a Trump presidency for the next 4 years rests squarely on the shoulders of the corrupt DNC. You play, you pay.
I'll continue to fight oppression and injustice and push for a progressive future where the US enacts single payer health care, raises the minimum wage, overturns Citizens United, breaks up Wall Street, provides free public college, and fights Climate Change like we'd fight a war - what else is there to do? As Bernie says - the struggle continues!
As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

There will be no creepy dolls today, I'm sorry - but I have some WTF news to share - Skippy Haha Vintage is officially moving to Colorado.
Though a tragic change in family circumstances is driving this decision, it's definitely a positive move on the whole - there are a few really awesome people in Denver that we're lucky to spend a lot more time around in the coming years.
I am extremely sad to be leaving the river that flows through our backyard.
I am a little worried that the thrift stores of Colorado will not measure up to the wondrous bounty of Western NC's goodwills, but hoping to find lots of old rodeo duds.
I am sad to be leaving some excellent friends, and Asheville's progressive creative hippie community where I immediately felt welcome when I first came to visit 10 years ago (this week!)
I am sad to be leaving Marco's pizza.
I am excited to be in an awesome (warm! thick-walled!) house in Evergreen. I am excited for all the spectacular hiking opportunities in Colorado.
I am excited to live in a state where grass is legal and swat teams are not busting into people's homes over a plant. I am excited to live in a state where Single Payer Health Care is on the ballot next week. I am excited to live much closer to some of the most amazing, generous, fun-loving, adventurous, brave, funny, and smart friends and family in existence.
Our moving date is in November - which is now officially this month. I'll do my best to be back next week with more WTF treasures. As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

Back on the horse today after a couple of thrift-free weeks - here we have a framed gingerbread cookie recipe with puffy paint obscuring all the directions.
Here's a book from 1984 depicting the sensual way to superbly conditioned bodies.
This is how you superbly tone your calves.
And this is how you superbly tone your trapezius.
Nice cat candle - light the wick and watch her face slowly melt onto her torso!
A good 33% of these potted babies are screaming out in terror.
Cute pairing.
Crazy cookie jar.
Dear Lord, give me the strength to not choke this fluffy dog.
Last but not least, baby things to make.
