Okay, so I went down the street cuz I saw some stuff left over from yesterday's move... I saw lots of people stopping to go through and I was happy to see that.  So I get there and start cleaning up putting trash into the trash can's as I sort what I am going to take, give away, etc.  A diesel pick up truck stops right by me and I see a woman in the front seat.  I gather up my loot (yeah, I even found 12 cents) and take it home.  I return and there she is waiting (car running all this time) for some young men to bring items to the truck.  She smiles at me and I do the same.  A few minutes later I say "They didn't want to move canned food?"  She laugh's and say's "no, I guess not".  Then the boys come out and I ask "Are you going to return that Keg?"  And they say "Yeah".  She then turns to me and says "They will get money for that".  I then say, "well, they paid money for the canned food".  She smiled as I walked away with the canned food.  Is there a huge disconnect here or is it my imagination?

Sold 2 of the 3 books found in the trash earlier in the week already on half.com

Saw this beautiful corner sectional couch on the corner this morning on our way to piano.  6 pieces, in great shape.  On our return ride I saw two young men loading up their truck.  I said "I am so glad you are getting that, it's in great shape" they had big smiles on their faces and said "Yeah I know".  They made multiple trips because all 6 sections were gone within an hour.  I am happy it didn't get trashed, rained on, or even burned, or worse go to the landfill.

Rode 25 miles  - kids and I rode to school this week a few times.
