Basements

Why do basements collect so much junk? Do I even know what's down there? Do I want to know?

For example, here are some of the odd things that I have found during recent cleaning sessions.


  • A copy of Codewarrior development tools from 1999. Hey, it runs on Windows NT and Mac OS 8-9!!!
  • A copy of the game "X-Wing" for Macintosh. I think I bought this in 1997. I remember that I was never any good at it anyway.
  • A Star Wars calendar from 1996
  • The brake sets from my old 1992 Park Pre mountain bike that I no longer have.

And these are just the things that I had forgotten about.


Looks like it is time for a garage sale...

I'm not sure I should take too close of a look in my basement either. Oh, here we go, an old scanner, a busted VCR, and computer speakers that no longer work. Why DO we keep this junk???

I'm right there with you - time to clean it out.

Guess what I have in my basement? Guess again! I have a cube, as in an office cube! Don't ask why!

Joel already checked our basement, but I know there is a few other things down there like two large monitors, paint from from the previous owner--unlabeled.

Jenn-- Why?

Becky - the only way to answer that is by saying... just because I can.
