Just finished reading...

"The Urban Hermit" by Sam MacDonald. It tells the story of a journalist who mired in debt and vastly overweight puts himself on a budget of 8 dollars a week and 800 calories a day in an effort to save money. His diet consists mainly of tuna sandwiches, hardboiled eggs, lentils, and for a short time cabbage. The money saved on food funds his adventures in Bosnia and in Montana at a Rainbow Gathering, while waiting on a stock option check to come in. All in all a cool book and well worth reading...3.5 out of 5 stars.

I have this box...

and it's full of all sorts of junk. You might refer to it as a compulsive hoarder box. Among the contents are a wide variety of combs (22), pocket combs, wide tooth combs, picks, rattail combs, and the funny thing is that I never use any of the combs in that box. Besides that my hair needs combing... There are small blocks of wood, a couple of razors, pins from political candidates I supported, assorted cartridges (mostly .44 Magnums), a couple of old wallets, a bag of small screws, pocket change, foreign coins and a bent nickel. There's a gift envelope with $2 bills in it, batteries (dead or alive I know not), nuts and bolts, a couple of broken Microtouches (dropped one to many times I guess), ear plugs and other assorted scraps of my daily life.
