Wow, nice assortment! :) I think Garrett Keizer (who has a new book out, BTW) made a similar observation about the ditches in VT in his book God of Beer.

I wish I only saw or picked up these items! Around here you find chairs, refrigerators, tires, old computers, mattresses..... Everytime I go for a walk with my pooch I despair. And you can get rid of it for free at the dump. Go figure.

I know. It’s really baffling, isn’t it?

Imagine life with Muhammad Ali as President - and Clara as VP. Would be a different world!

Thank you for your kind service and keen reporting!

Wondering how useful a clean grabber might be at the soft-serve window?!

Clara Parkes's avatar

I could use it to grab cones being presented to other people

Great quote. We should all keep it front of mind…

Good for you both! I always feel that roadside cleanup finds are like an unsolvable puzzle, or a writing prompt.

And the more you do it, the more data you have about the populace - favorite drinks, smoking habits, all of it. It’s really fascinating.

Yes, Wendy. I kinda want a Clara narrative spun from these finds!

Interesting haul!

I think there needs to be a Miss Clarple mystery involving the peas, the khaki pants, and the spent shotgun shell.

Clara Parkes's avatar

I would absolutely love to take on that challenge.
