OK, Weird fans. Here's an offer you need to jump on: One Mrs. Lorraine of Durham is giving away one whole house for free!
It's a charming, pink, two-bedroom number that looks to be some kind of double-wide. You can spot it in the free section of today's Craigslist. Mrs. Lorraine warns that there's "asbestos" in a back bedroom, but beggars can't be choosers. Also, it's not airborne so you won't need to fret about "cancer."
Just one catch: this offer is available on a to-go basis only. Want it? Gotta move it. No word from Mrs. Lorraine on whether that means all at once or one piece at a time.
Josh Shaffer feels drawn to life's smaller stories – the tiny triumphs of ordinary people, the curiosities you see out the window of your car. He plays the trombone. He can juggle a little. His hero is this guy from Baltimore who lost his paycheck when it blew off his dashboard, and who responded by stopping his car to do a little dance on the shoulder and say, "Oh, well. I'll get another one next week."
