Twice a year our waste disposal co. has a “free clean up” day where people can put out on the curb anything they don’t want, and the trash trucks come pick it up…but the fun thing, as I walk the neighborhood before the trucks arrive, is to see the piles dwindle in size as passers-by pick out treasures from someone else’s discards; there are even people who drive around days before the scheduled pickup, often in the dead of night, to get first pick of the "treasures”. Its always fun to see which of our discards end up being coveted by someone else; and, actually, I’ve retrieved a few treasured things my self -- including a charming lamp on my desk that worked perfectly and was just what the office needed. Fun! (Whatcha gonna put in the shed, now?)Beenoreply@blogger.com
