I bet I will be flamed for this. As I sit back and gander on several port=

holes, belt buckles lights etc. If a ship sinks and it is left on the bot=
tom
then its bottom garbage.  If a car is wrecked and sits on the side of the=

road then it is towed to a scrap yard.  I guess I am doing community serv=
ice
by taking one piece at a time.  Sure its a long tough job but someone has=
 to
clean it up.  Lets face it I am not going to take the whole darn wreck ju=
st
small parts of it.

By the way if a car is left on the side of the road long enough things st=

Yea I am selfish, I go by finders keepers.  By the way I have two childre=

I know where an old train box car is It=92s over grown with weeds and cri=

D.O.T. as an archeology significant site let me know.


This is of course just my opinion
