Got any more, Jackson? That's an intriguing mixture of stuff there. Looks like the kind of market I'd like to sift through.

One of the great side-effects of the quakes is that markets and op-shops down here are treasure troves. People are giving away amazing things bcause they are clearing out for repairs and many people have relinquished their attachment to "stuff".
I recommend a visit if you like a good poozle. -

Hmmm... the quake connection makes it feel a bit icky. But thanks, I'll make sure to check it out if I can get down there soon enough.

Hell no. Unattachment to the material is coming from the most surprising people: I spent six weeks with my mother sorting through her house. The stuff was incredible: everything from my great-great-grandmother's undies to Ma's 1954 debutante dress (she hid it from me when I was in my punk years and likely to wear it out with a pair of Doc Marten's) through to 40 years of electricity bills and receipts. She found it easy to part with and was pleased to find homes for previously sacrosanct treasures where the bits and pieces were appreciated. Don't feel icky: it's helping out!

I'm quite ok with unattachment to the material (excpet my books. You're not going to unattach me from me books.), it's more the violent force that taught that unattachment that gives the icky feeling. But yeah, I know, what would Zhuangzi say?
