Wide Open by Rich Powell for May 28, 2013

A bit of each, I’d say.

He probably has several things of value on there.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Ok, here’s what we do. We puts the skis down and nails them to the bottom of the Barcalounger feets. We puts one of the other chairs at the fronts of the skis and duct tape a TV on it. Then we puts the golf clubs on either side of the Barcalounger for steerage. And those bungee cords there, we tie to the back of the truck and on to the tips of the skis. And you know what that gives us? More room on the truck for more stuff!

You laugh. I used to have a friend who had his own trash collection business, and he occasionally brought home some really cool stuff. The things people throw away—once, he brought back a portable embalming table. Another friend turned it into a coffee table.

A friend of mine is a trash truck driver, he too has found some perfectly good items in the trash…stereos, lawnmowers, etc.

Danielle, call Mike and Frank. There’s a honey hole here, I think.

Hey, you never know what the experts will call “art” next year. Paint splatters? Blue-washed trees? Why not bent, rusty golf clubs?
