LH - I have lived most of my life with that creedo. I remember as a child, walking down to the city landfill (yes, there at one time was something called a landfill). My brothers and I would rummage through certain piles (no, we didn't rifle through swill) and we found many things that were still usable and take them home. We mostly took home boxes of items discarded after not being sold at yard sales.

At any rate, this one afternoon, I discovered a bag that had been ripped open and noticed what appeared to be an old book. I knelt down and picked it up. It was in fact a book from the fifties that was pretty much chewed up and not worth much. It piqued my interest though and upon further rifling of the bag, I found an ivory handled quill pen and a checkbook cover. I opened the checkbook cover and to my surprise, I found two crisp fives and two crisp tens inside.

So, yes LH, I echo your sentiment. One man's trash is another mans treasure...:cash:
