Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is hoping that the "Great California Garage Sale" will turn government clutter like surplus prison uniforms and office furniture into cash to bulk up the state's depleted finances.State officials estimate the giant two-day yard sale being held at a state warehouse will bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars. In addition to clearing out office products, the state is also selling unclaimed property from state parks and items confiscated by law enforcement, said California Department of General Services spokesman Eric Lamoureux."This is a win-win for the state and for shoppers," Schwarzenegger said in a statement Tuesday announcing that a selection of items also would be sold on eBay and Craigslist. "Together we are eliminating waste and providing great deals in this tough economy."
Schwarzenegger also has autographed 15 car visors in an effort to fetch more money during the sale Friday and Saturday.
Autographed car visors . . . I know!
Next month, I hear we're having a bake sale.

Think that they'll sell some of that confiscated Mary Jane, or maybe include it in some brownies at the bake sale? Alice B. Toklas is dying to know...
Thank you for sharing such a nice information.The metaphor used with Depression glass is very nice.
