Tiger, enjoying the sunshine.

I saw this sign when we were touring colleges recently.  A reminder of a very sad truth:
Human Trafficking has become the 2nd most profitable  criminal industry after drug trafficking.
If you tell yourself "but slavery was abolished after the Civil War", that's true.
However, slavery and Human Trafficking is running rampant worldwide.
 

Can you see them?  Three little birds hanging out on the branches of this bush.
I had pulled in to park, and the rain had just stopped and these little birds popped up from
inside of the bush and hung out on the branches.

A find from cleaning out the garage.
A sink.
We bought this house from our in-laws, and they never cleaned out the garage.
My father in law had fallen in the bathroom and taken out the sink.
He replaced the sink, but evidently, they never took the sink to the dump.
 

Another find in the garage... middle child had attempted to start a fire with a magnifying glass.
This is the remains of a recycling bin.
He had put a box inside of the bin, and then used the magnifying glass to catch the box on fire.
What you're seeing here is a portion of the box, and a very melted recycling bin.
For the last 3 years, this has been hiding under a tarp deep down in the back of the closet.
I'm really glad that the fire didn't spread!

 

A portion of the stuff going to the dump from the garage.
We had a van load full. 
The top of the van was covered with an old rug that we had taken out of the basement.
