Is this a joke?

July 30, Chesterland.

Garage sales day, finally, so Julie can discover an American ritual.
We started off on the wrong track, however, with a MacMansion in the woods and what will surely become a Torales family classic garage-sale tale: thirty bucks for a sweater jacket.
Is this a joke?, a lady asked, nailing the day on the head. MacMansion Mom drove in minutes later - in a Hummer. By the book nouveau-riche, and an instant classic.
The ones after that were actually garage sales.
