My fascination with the armless

June 13th, 2000

I went to an estate sale and Beck was the cashier. He was giving me a hard time about having to go into each room at least twice. I found Fisher-Price playsets (the farm with the barn doors that mooed when opened, etc.). I searched for the city playset I used to have with a jail, ice cream store, firehouse, etc. I stopped for a minute and thought about my fascination with the armless, the Little People characters who belonged in the playset had no arms or legs. I bought some placemats and skipped the boxes of cassettes. There was some strange glassware and weird lamps.
