Hi!

I sure am glad the summer solstice has finally passed. I'm generally not a daylight-hater, but when the sun sets at 9PM, it can be very awkward trying to photograph garbage piles outside of people's houses. Also, I'm part vampire.

I've been told this is called a Knee Chair, because it supports the knees (Here's an example of someone sitting on one while operating the equally innovative 'Giraffe Computer'). Does this mean we should use the term 'Ass Chair' to specify a seat of traditional design?

The angle of the photo doesn't offer a clear view of the inside of the case, so I'll give a brief description: There's a small accordion folder on one side, and the rest is open space. It currently contains one paper clip, but it seems large enough to accommodate 500 sheets of paper, a small plant or animal, or maybe even a change of clothes (thin fabrics only). It appeared to be in good condition, but I didn't see the key anywhere. Ideal for magicians?

This was another yard sale-looking trash pile. I noticed this earlier in the day, but didn't get a chance to photograph it until many of the treasures had already been claimed. Above, you can see a lovely end table, decorated with a multitude of frosted globes in various shapes. There's also a bar stool and some other things visible, but this was only a fraction of the setup. The entire collection extended past several houses, and touched the depths of my heart. Here are some alternate perspectives:

In the distance, you can see a stack of instructional exercise mats, a very charming set of drawers, and more unknown structures. You may need to squint to see some of these things.

From behind, we get a view of the bar stool from before, another seat in the back, a cork board, a mirror, and a face. I'm curious about that brown thing.
