Neat Old Stuff: We're fans o' these fans!

Look at these!
We bought this first one on ebay because, well ... it is called the "Wizard Husky."  Hard to argue with that.  It has holes and hardware such that could have been mounted on a dashboard.  I am not sure what advantage this has over rolling down a window, but it sure is cute!  The only problem is, with the sturdy steel blades and sparse wire cage, one is at risk of turning a perfectly good arm into, as my father would say, "a three-fingered elbow."  I refuse to let Matt turn it on, and keep threatening to snip the cord off when we have children.

This next beauty is also really neat looking, and it is safe enough to actually use!  We bought it for $40 at a flea market, probably a steal considering it still works great and it was HOT that day.

The flea market, by the way, is called the Antiques Garage, located on West 25th between 6th and 7th.  Open Sat-Sun 9am-5pm.  Highly recommend it!

If you cut the cord on the Husky I walk.
