It’s always amusing to try and profile the personalities of your home’s former residents based on the mail they continue to get long after they’ve moved.
Since buying my house three years ago, I’ve learned the previous tenant was a photographer/artist with interests in compost gardening, summer dinner parties, fine wines, delicious but decadent desserts, community activism, and a variety of green friendly causes.
Yeah. No big surprises — until yesterday when this piece showed up from an Indianapolis antique dealer who apparently specializes in “full-bodied” taxidermy. More puzzling yet, it was obviously no random delivery. Based on the information on the backside, the former resident was a registered list member.
So now I’m left scratching my head trying to fit this bizarre little factoid into the overall profiling game I’ve played with a stranger I thought I knew, but never really did — and telling myself there’s gotta be a really good story behind this one.
