He's long passed away, but I'll never forget my sister and I, wide-eyed and a little frightened, decending the creaky wood stairs into the dark basement. Grandpa led us down organized rows found items--some of them were fun and interesting, but most were kind of creepy. You see, my grandfather was a dumpster diver waaaaaay before it was considered an accepted hobby. In fact, he was seen as a bum around town. What I wouldn't give to take another trip down to that basement, which in today's world would probably be worth a fortune!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545020113679133121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-50378970756357621462010-03-11T04:54:34.405-05:002010-03-11T04:54:34.405-05:00the oddest source of inspiration I've had is d...the oddest source of inspiration I've had is definitely from an unsavoury office joke that went way to far.
