Friday is trash day in our neighborhood, and once in a while on my morning walks I come across something that’s a little bit different or interesting.  Since the Goodwill store is closed, I guess people are just throwing stuff in the trash.  That’s a shame, although I suspect that a lot of stuff that Goodwill gets will eventually end up in the trash.  This morning there was a set of golf clubs sticking out of someone’s can,  I recently got rid of a set of my own (less a sentimental putter), but I took them to Goodwill.  Not that I know, but the ones I saw this morning looked better than the ones I got rid of.  No, I didn’t bring them home.

Later in my walk I passed an empty box from a 75″ television.  75″!  Lordy that’s huge!  The “recommended viewing distance” for a 75″ 4G TV is 8-12 feet.  First of all, I only have maybe 3 walls in my entire house to hang a TV  that size, and there is only one of them where I could get that far away!  Yikes!  We don’t even have a TV, although we’ve been contemplating buying one just to watch old movies.  In the meantime we’ve watched a few on my 24″ computer monitor.  That seems large enough!

Something else I wanted to mention.  I know that a few people who read my blog might have something interesting to say in reply, but don’t feel comfortable posting a comment.  That’s OK!  If you are an email subscriber, replying to the email you receive will come directly to me and not post to the blog.  If you subscribe via an RSS feed, you can send me an email directly at tomdills (at) tomdills.com.  I welcome the dialog and feedback, and I don’t judge!
