Anonymous was a woman

Holy crap, I don't even remember where these pics came from.  They're all super nice and I really should have posted them sooner and remembered who sent them in.  But I didn't and I don't.  So this week, I'm sending a coupla cases of PBR to the local shelter, signed anonymous.  Our little way of saying "thanks, forgotten friend!"

Freakin' Trumansburg

A quintet of beauty from beauty Claire M. who claims "there's always a lot of free stuff in Trumansburg, N.Y."  Well, that settles it.  Now we know where we're retiring to.  When the time comes.  Soon.  Right after the last of these kids finished college in 12 years or so.  Eeeesh.

A carton of Tareyton goes out to Claire, who, apparently, would "rather fight than switch."

Please read the instructions above. Thank you.

OK, we love getting free signs, but really prefer email versus real mail.  As it says above, don't steal the sign.  Regardless, big thanks to Inspector Collector for sending in (via snail mail) this fab sign from (as the attached post it note says) St. Marks near 2nd Ave.

We really wanted the propane tank

For some people, I guess, summer is not really over until you give away your barbecue grill.  Thanks to super swell reader Alice M. for snapping this shot out Blue Mountain way.

Nice.  A conditional free.  If you've got a bad home, don't bother.

Below: the last pic from a banner Tuesday of free signs in Rhinebeck.

I spotted all of them while out riding bikes with boy wonder, Moss.

His bike is shiny and red.

I guess Tuesdays are the get rid of your chair days.

Moss was extra curious about this army helmet.

And a mattress from Woodstock.
