Went to the old train ride today. Saw Don was a mile away. We parked for “ice cream” but somehow landed in front of Don’s shop. What a gentleman. Engaging. Listened to my stories.
The kids found little treasures. The girl found some dolls, the boy bought two packs of baseball cards. $23!
I saw a ‘55 Bowman Ernie Banks. I thought it was $50 and I almost pounced on it. It was $250. Alas, with the wife at my side, I had to pass. $50 on old cardboard I can sell. $250…not today…
Went over to the toy shop and bought a tunnel and an old Tyco depot for $50 instead. (I hope this tunnel survives the ride back to Long Island!
