The only thing better than cheap...

...is FREE. Like this chair that some outrageous neighbor threw away, which I then retrieved.
I try to think the best of people, like maybe it was a couple that had a NASTY breakup and the guy left, so the girl literally threw all his furniture away. That way, it wasn't fueled so much by utter wastefulness so much as terrible SPITE. That justifies things! Whenever traffic is terrible for absolutely no reason Joe and I cheer ourselves up by hoping it was someone having a baby on the side of the road, rather than a horrific accident (which would at least give some closure to our "what the h***???" but we do feel bad when we are hoping someone DIED in order to cause such a jam) or *gasp!* simply awful drivers brake-checking us into a 2-hour delay. A baby would be a good excuse, like a breakup would be a good excuse - so I can think the best of people. So wherever you are, broken-up and broken-hearted (and furniture-less) neighbors, thank you! We love the new chair.
