All Hail Cheap Bastards!

i can't even tell you how much i love a good disposed of piece of mid-century modern found in an alley...

my dad (who retired at 50) loves dumpster diving for produce behind grocery stores. (i haven't yet had the pleasure of partaking in a trash-salad but it can't be any worse than pesticides)

Ez is patient and a good carrier and loader of heavy things into the back of his truck, but he won't step foot in a big lots*. we've all got our limits.

...maybe if i tell him that they've got a shipment of argyle sweater vests straight from banana republic (still safe in plastic) he could be lured--but by now he knows all my tricks.

(oh and he stomps on the gas/guns his engine away from stores like 'tuesday morning' --this never seems to keep me from trying, 'baby, look! a tuesday morning!)
