Trash Mountain

When you think about it, the term trash mountain literally means "mountain of trash".

Never trust a craigslister

I've spent the day waiting for three different people from craigslist to come get their stuff.
Nobody showed up. The only thing I got real responses from was the old tires I put on the FREE list, then I got 5 calls, and someone was here in 15 min.
I did get rid of my broken washing machine though. I got it as far as the bottom of the basement stairs but couldn't get it any farther by myself. I set the trap by putting a couple of metal items at the curb; a rusty shelving unit and some chicken wire. Then I sat on the porch and waited. Within 30 min. some scrappers showed up and started loading thier pickup. I said "Hey you guys want a washing machine?" "Sure" Wel it's in the basement you just have to bring it up. "OK" !

I'm sorry, the kitchen is closed

I packed up all my pots and pans and threw out all the food. No more cooking here. There are no dishes either because I've been throwing them out every day instead of washing them.

Storage unit is almost full.

I haven't updated in awhile, I plead exhaustion. I rented a 10' x 10' storage unit and have been taking a couple of van loads a day there. Almost done, in a couple of days everything I own will be there or in my car. I was going to leave the window AC for the family moving in (wow I guess I don't even know their name, Sullivan or O'Sullivan or something like that) but I was worried that they would use the AC all the time and run up their electric bill and have nothing left for rent, so they lose, I'm taking it to storage.

Some things I'll miss about Detroit. I went to the fruit & vegtable market today; bought 4 bananas, 3 apples , 3 oranges 3 hot peppers, 2 green peppers, fresh cilantro, fresh spinach, gnocchi potato dumplings, 1/2 gallon cider, mushrooms,

all for $11.70. This is the midwest, where the livin' is easy.

Day, ?

Ok, I was in Hawaii for the last 10 days, plus time for jet lag and back and forth to Syracuse, which is where we boarded the plane. So nothing done once again. Tommorow is go time, I'm getting a storage unit and loading it up. A family wants to rent the house starting Aug 1. They are highly motivated because they are currently living in a tent. What, me worry??
