Trash Digging Fun

I spent the last hour and a half walking around my neighborhood and looking in the garbage by the street.  It’s not the first time I’ve done it.  I hope it’s not the last.  In fact, I usually bring stuff home – that’s the whole point.  Here’s a list of the stuff I saw. 

I asterisked (*) the things I thought about bringing home.

I ampersanded (&) the things I touched.

I money symboled ($) the things I think are funny.
