156 Free Things

Why pay good money when whatever you could ever need or want is available for free? A little elbow grease required now and then, but most items are ready to go with just a dusting.

This may no longer be the case, judging from what appears to be fewer roadside offerings in the same communities. Gone are the boats, computers, TVs, bikes, furniture and children’s toys that used to appear in abundance.

Either residents are tightening their belts and not accumulating as much stuff, or Global Warming has inspired them to hang on to boats in order to survive the rising sea level and increasing ferocity of weather in general.
