Good evening.

There was definitely a lot of garbage out there tonight, but not too many gems. Most of the piles looked pretty much like this:


As I believe I've said in the past, I can't be too upset about a lack of good garbage if it means that centretown residents are throwing away fewer valuable items. Now we'll just have to work on reducing our general consumption...

I think this one pretty much speaks for itself (as I mentioned previously, not a lot of gems tonight). In fairness, it seems like a functional set of shelves. At the very least, I can guarantee that they're capable of supporting a few centimetres of snow.

Floral + Plaid has to be the most aesthetically pleasing combination of patterns. If only my living room could accommodate this stunning set of couches.

In case you didn't notice, there's also a sewing machine on the right. It's a Singer, which I'm told is a quality brand. If it's at all related to Peter Singer, then I'd expect nothing less.

Another glorious living room set. By now, you're probably getting a pretty clear sense of the quality (or lack thereof) of the gems out there tonight (in case you needed another reason to stay in).

You may recognize this one from a few weeks ago. I guess the sanitation engineer didn't think it was garbage (It does seem to be having a hard time fitting in with the popular crowd of bags hanging around the lamp post). I can also kind of understand why no one else has bothered to pick it up though, as a freezer in this climate seems a bit redundant.
