I do.

And I can trump your story.

My daughter is a police officer. The sector beat she works surrounds my
house. She comes over for lunch a lot, and we watch the grandbaby one day
a
week, so she comes that day about four times.

The other day, she calls me on her cell, and gives me an address where
they
are tossing out a plastic bubble looking car that has swivelly wheels on
it.
She asks if I would run over and get it, BECAUSE IT WON'T FIT IN THE BACK
OF
HER SQUAD CAR! She would have picked it up herself, bit it wouldn't fit.
I
can see her right now, Glock and all, trying to stuff a yellow and blue
bubble car into the back of a squad car. "Now, please cooperate, or I
will
have to use force .................."

I wonder where in the world she got the habit of picking up stuff
from...............................

Well, I went and snatched it, got it home, and one of the wheels needs
attention, and it needs a powerwashing. Kyle is 13 months now, and taking
his first steps, so he will be ready for it any time.

You bet I pick up stuff curbside. When you used to could take stuff to
the
dump back in the fifties and sixties, we would sometimes come home with as
much stuff as we took.

i went to the "dump" the other week to get my $18.00 for old gutters and
wanted to fill my truck with all the goodies there... there must be a
clinical name for this affliction!
