Trash

Trash has given us an appetite for art.
~ Pauline Kael

One of my favorite things in the world is when the big dumpsters show up outside of residence halls at the end of spring semester. It reminds me that students who arrived in the fall are leaving different people than when they walked onto campus. It's not that I want them to leave forever -- not at all. And it is interesting to see what all they managed to make fit in their residence hall rooms or apartments or whatever. If it is TOO interesting -- like a giant plastic tub full of 'shrooms someone was growing, well, then we call the police.
