Trashball 062612: Composition in Yellow with Blue Jumpsuit
Found this photo ages ago on the dump truck. The blue jumpsuit stands out not just because everything else is beery yellow (including the beer), but because it is awesome.
As is the gentleman wearing the jumpsuit. His look inspires confidence. Now there's a guy I'd want to repair my Magnavox, to pilot my Cessna, to tow my car, to dredge my pond, to captain my bowling-league team.

Trashball 062312: Ticket to Ride
Here's one among many old WMATA ticket booklets I came across at a Wheaton thrift store. Probably from the early 1970s, DC schoolchildren would proffer the booklet to the bus driver in the morning.
I now have about 100 of these fares, but I get the feeling they may no longer be legal tender.
