Do you know you have peas sitting here?

The German and I just went “dumpster diving” (really it was curb picking) in our neighbor’s yard. She’s dead, so I didn’t think she’d mind too much. We found some old aluminum cans, mostly nuts, that were kinda cool. Not sure what I’ll do with them, but at least I can tell people that I own a lot of “nutty canisters.” I bet if I looked in the Encyclopedia of Associations, I would undoubtedly find a reference to “The Association of Antique Nut Canister Collectors.” God, I love that book! Super fascinating. There’s a lot of weird shit out there.

The German is also tickled with his latest acquisition – 16mm film projectors. Yes, plural. Three actually. And about 100 films to go with it. Tonight he watched “The Eye of the Beholder.” The other night was “Voice Physiology.” The voiceover in all of these films is the same guy that did every film back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, and it’s frickin’ weird. I wonder if they auditioned people for it? Remember when they would change the voice of a cartoon character – like Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble or George Jetson? I hated when they did that.
