I was at a garage sale this weekend, several in fact, and one had a
box with kitchen odds and ends - anything it was 10 cents. I picked
up one thing that caught my eye, the lady asked me if I had a dime
since she didn't have any change, and I didn't. "Just take it", she
says. So I did. Got home a quick Google to see what I had, and was

Other places have it cheaper, $70 or so, but who would pay that much
for a very small pepper mill?!

Anyway, I'm not arguing and the thing is pretty cool looking.
