Thank you, my dear AG :-)

I met Garage Sales in California. Since I lived in Palm Desert at that time and everyone there had their own house - or at least most of them - they were garage sales in the truest sense of the word:) I thought it was great just to go on someone's property and look around. Where I grew up, you could do that because they're all single-family homes. But nobody does, and the flea market tradition in smaller towns (at least in the area I come from) has somehow atrophied, it seems.
But it could also be that people just give each other things away or sell them without anyone noticing.

I would very much like to know about your second hand purchases and the story behind them :)
I can understand that the new regime here is discouraging. I'm thinking about letting my blog sneak out here bit by bit because I don't like the environment and people with possibilities don't want to understand much about democratic processes or are disinterested in concepts and methods that are new and different. Through my participation I support a platform that basically doesn't want to operate differently than what is so permanently criticized.

Perhaps the entire crypto market is organized in such a way that it is about profit and not about a really good product or service.

Granted, I would miss it, I like to blog. But maybe I will discover new environments and possibilities in this way? Who knows?

I haven't really decided yet.

Yours German friend E.

P.S. take a look at your mentions on steemworld.org. I put out the feelers once and tried again to draw attention to my suggestions. So far the resonance is at zero.
