Garage sales in Utah are very Friday/Saturday, due to the whole "Shopping on Sunday is evil, and if I go shopping I may run into my neighbor who will give me a dirty look and talk trash about me to the other members of the congregation, even though she's out shopping too."
The stay-at-home Moms descend upon the garage sales, or they show up before they go to work and pick through everything before you're ready.
Re: scary things and kids, Hubby had a standing display in the game store of a D&D monster with huge teeth and claws. Tiny kids would run up to it and hug it. One I saw kept cackling and going "Grrr! Grrr!" He sold several of the things to parents, who put them in the kids' room and said that the kids slept much better because they had their own personal monster to keep the other ones away.
re college name changes
Mine changed its name right after I graduated--boy, I got great deals on commemorative stuff that was on clearance--but I figured I'd put down the name that people would be able to find rather than the old name that might not show up in any directories.
For purposes of filling out intrusive government paperwork for investigative bullshit, did I attend a BSC or BSU?
I would go with whatever name is on your degree.
I'd put down the name of the college you attended, and on a resume I'd note the new name in parenthesis.

This. For intrusive things, the name you attended. For a resume, note the change.
Flea, in West Baltimore, your crew could have them beaten by now.Especially since your husband doesn't work there...
you might not want to lead with that. But then, you might.
Thanks for the advice. I went with name attended and noted that the name was changed to university in the address section.
Those breakfasts looked great, but I never saw ceviche offered for breakfast in Peru--it's traditionally a lunch thing. Because the fishing boats have just come in, I expect. Breakfasts there were eggs, really good local bread, fruit, and slices of ham. Oh, and either coffee or coca tea. Granted, these were hotel/hostel breakfasts; maybe they're different in homes.

I keep posting that image to my Tumblr. I really want a print of it, because it is a True Thing. Clovis told me so.
