    Grandparents raised me, Silent Gen. We used to hit auctions, antique stores, flea markets, etc., looking for deals, so I developed a keen sense of what things were worth, for a kid anyway. I simply wouldn’t touch shit that was expensive, and I knew I was clumsy. To this day I clasp my hands behind my back when browsing. LOL, got that from dad’s Navy habit of standing at parade rest.
