Apparently the lure of "free stuff" is irresistible to some folks.
This time of year, cartons of Girl Scout cookies are delivered to the parking lot of the Church of the Advent on North Union Street each Friday evening, and the troops' cookie moms go there to pick up their orders. I've seen the line of cars stretch all the way out to the street.
One of the moms told me that she's actually seen curious motorists join the line, apparently assuming that given the crowd, valuable "free stuff" is being given away.
I asked her what happens when they reach the head of the line and find out that nothing is being given away.
"They just turn around and drive off," she said.
