Accumulating stuff is what I am good at it seems. I'd never go so far as 
to call myself a collector. I just keep stuff that like and don't throw 
away much. What was useless junk a few years ago is now "collectible". 
Maybe even worth a little money but thats not the real reason I keep it. 
Old ads, magazines and farm newspapers have become a gold mine of 
history. I've scanned some of it into an album at fotki.

  I guess when I'm gone there is going to be a huge garage sale (or 
bonfire) here.
