I Dream of Flying Refrigerators
I used to have a friend who grew up in the desert around Barstow, California. He was a pretty funny guy and he used to tell me tall tales about his childhood including a game they played with refrigerators.

I just hate seeing things go to waste and into the waste stream that do not have to.

Give, Help, Donate, and (Re)Buy
This weekend my wife and I went off in search of a carpet remnant. In our case we needed some cheap, clean carpet to cover more expensive carpet so my wife could go a little wild with her paints in a borrowed art studio (nee bedroom). The point was that we needed something and we did not want to pay very much for it. Our solution was to visit the ReStore (http://www.restorenova.org/)in Alexandria, Virginia where we got a serviceable few yards of pile carpet for just $5 or about a quarter of what it would have cost had we bought it new.
