The Saline Post walks through the Rentschler Farm Museum yard sale Friday with Dean Girbach, on the board of directors for the Saline Area Historical Society, which manages the farm museum.
The sale continues Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A few pictures:

Sunny, with a high of 72 and low of 32 degrees. Sunny during the morning, overcast in the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
