Trailer Dreams

After taking Samantha to work this morning in the rain, I lusted over the trailer parks on Telegraph Road. This might sound strange, but Ryan and I seriously talked about buying a trailer once... I think it must have been after we watched John Water's Pink Flamingos. At the time it seemed like it would be the ideal, cheap life for us and perfect for hoarding all of my vintage yard sale crap. So on the way home from dropping Samantha off, in the middle of Odenton Maryland, I daydreamed about a gypsy trailer decorated with wind chimes and beaded curtains. In my car my Elvis cassette tape whirled music in rhythm to the windshield wipers smacking my dashboard and I think that only enhanced my trailer park visions. However, now that I am home in my cozy room I think I've returned back to my senses. YAHOO ANSWERS says: "Invest your money, dont put it in the deteriation fund. Trailers are like cars. Once they get old, they are junk and of no value!"

  1. but there is no reason that you can't have a trailer as your vacation house once you're a successful playwright.

  2. Trailers cost about the same as a townhouse becasue you rent the lot the trailer is on.
