I remember spending a lot of hours on the bicycle I built from parts I scavenged from trash piles riding around picking up beer and soda bottles. All the while noticing the yards that needed mowing or leaves raked. I would walk up to the house and offered to mow the yard for five dollars maybe seven dollars if it was big. That money was shared with my parents or they might take it all. If they needed it they took it.

I also went down to the Piggly Wiggly swept side walks and picked up trash for a big bag of soup bones.
