My photo won the prize for “Most Unusual Object” in West Seattle Blog’s Garage Sale Contest. No, smart guy, the unusual object wasn’t ME, it was two huge bags of duck decoys.
Me: How many duck decoys does a person need?
Duck Decoy Guy: About a dozen.
Me: And how many do you have here?
DDG: Oh, about three dozen… do you want one? You can take one home…
Me: [Selecting a duck decoy]
DDG: Everyone knows the Mallard.
What did I win? A 20 dollar coffee card from Hotwire at the Junction. Mmmmm. Coffee. And a duck decoy!
Cap Hill Garage Sale Day is June 14th.
West Seattle neighbor and travel goddess Beth Whitman of Wanderlust and Lipstick has asked me to help judge her travel photo contest. The fabulous prize? An X-Shot Monopod. I’m not familiar with the gadget, but it looks like it could be a fun thing to have. You’ll need to register on Beth’s site, upload some pics, and send your absolute best to her. Details are here.

Treat the duck well, it’s a lucky duck. If he gets lonely I have a hen too. Enjoy the riches the duck brings you… and your coffee.
