     I was lurking around the pay machine for a pay lot (amazing how people   
   fight each to pay when I'm around) that took coins.   
     This woman dropped about 20 cents when putting money in.  I told her   
   about this and she said she was not picking up little bit of change.  I told   
   her   
   I would and did.   
      
   > picking up refundable drink containers   
      
     The first year after my father died, my mother and I had a rough go.   
     I would pick up pop bottles (when they were glass and had to pay a   
   refundable deposit) and after I turned in so many I would have enough to buy a   
   full bottle.

   checked the pockets & found $300 in cash!   
      
     In addition to that, today he could resale those jeans as "distressed"   
   and make a fashion statement.  :)

     At one time the Marshall University PD (and city PD) would give a fella   
   in town all the collected lost/stolen bikes from campus(after a period of   
   time they were unclaimed) who fixed them up (often recycling bits and pieces   
   from various ones) and gave them t   
     That guy died a few years ago and no one does that any longer.   
     Those unclaimed bikes are just tossed in a dumpster and wind up in a   
   landfill.

     He had a look on his face like "How did this happen?" but did whatever it   
   was a volunteer was needed.   
     One time working a basketball game I had been on the floor most of the   
   reason.   
     One January day it was zero out with a minus 20 wind chill.   
     For some reason the guys who were to work traffic control outside didn't   
   show up.   
     My major called for four volunteers.   
     No one moved a muscle.   
     After a minute he repeated I need four volunteers.  Then pointed to four   
   guys saying "You, you, you and you outside".   
     I was one of those guys and nearly froze to death, dressed for being   
   inside and not outside.
