It is odd that so few people ever learned to shop at the dump and a bigger crime that they are all under lock and key today.

That is why the Free Cycle groups took off in so many areas.

Mary and I went after we had lunch, every couple weeks, found all kinds of things, including a drone that someone had found and taken off the bombing range.

When Bill refused to develop it into a toy for the grandkids, and insisted I call the military and tell them I had it, I learned that it had been stolen for the Briggs and Stratton type of motor on it, which had been removed.

The military were to come after it, but never did.

Yup, they want us to recycle, forbid dump picking and now they have contracted out the recycling to a company that has the most unpleasant employees so that we avoid going to the dump with a passion. Luckily, with our composting and our wood stove, we have very little trash besids newspapers and magazines and we have now reduced those items to the minimum. It’s no wonder people are just heading down dirt roads and dumping all their trash.
