Have you ever found anything valuable in the trash, or do you currently have something that others would think is junk?
One warm morning, while driving my tractor-trailer, I pulled up into the service driveway of OfficeMax. Turning the corner I noticed the doors to the refuge area ajar. Slowing to maneuver around the dumpster area, I noticed a software package strewn around other miscellaneous papers. It was enough to peak my interest for a look, after the trailer I was pulling was backed up to the dock. Pulling the air brakes, exiting the cab of my truck, I strolled over to the litter about the base of the dumpster. Sure enough, there on the ground was a sealed, though roughly scoffed, box for a game. I don't remember the title and vaguely remember if it was a sports title or adventure game. I picked it up and thought I should survey the dumpster for other titles. Climbing up and looking in, nothing. It was empty. Obviously, the remnants of a dump that missed the dump trucks intake, and were less than a passing thought for the operator to even consider picking up. My social duty complete, that game made its way to my home, where my kids enjoyed playing.
