The beauty of taking a few days off at Christmas is that I actually get to watch telly - I can go weeks without even giving TV a second thought sometimes. So when I came across a programme called '
American Pickers', I instantly realised I've been missing out on a total goldmine.
These chaps have a brilliant job - they travel around America, looking for interesting items to buy and sell on, to make a profit. But the interesting part of the show is that we get to see inside some of the most intriguing and curious places you could ever imagine. Dream job!
Above is the
Alabama Museum of Wonders, Seale, AL, run by artist/mad-collector Butch Anthony. A quick Google Maps search suggests this place is properly in the middle of nowhere,
"drive up anytime and hook your horn to find me", the website say! The American Pickers had a field-day, discovering rare VW memorabilia, original mascot costumes from the 1950's, rare medical equipment, sought-after pottery, odd rock collections, fast food and transport signs and even a section with questionable Big Foot-related paraphernalia.
We should celebrate our curiosity, you just never know where I might lead us. Imagine it taking you to a place like this?!
