Squid and I went to a local estate sale this morning. I walked into the dilapidated, ex-pack-rat house, made a beeline for the kitchen, opened a cupboard door and grabbed 2 Beachbum Burt's glasses:

Then over to the two liquor cabinets full of unopened bottles. I bought this bottle of Koko Tiki coconut liqueur and a sealed bottle of Wray & Nephew Coconut Rum for about a dollar each (among others). Squid found some sealed 1960s bottles of Crown Royal. I also grabbed some expensive champagne and cognac.

People saw me and Squid filling up a sturdy box full of bottles and suddenly everyone else made a mad rush for the liquor cabinets. I've noticed this before during estate sales. Everyone ignores the liquor until you bring it to their attention - it's as though they don't realize the stuff's for sale.
