Castoffs

On my lunchtime walk yesterday I saw two pieces of litter more interesting than the usual.

First was the top of the package of a kid’s toy… the Pixel Sword! If your enemies are made of pixels then I can see the value of a pixel sword, but in real life? Well of course not… kids use toy weapons to pretend, not to fight. Which led me to the very meta idea that kids today play at acting out video games.

A few minutes later I saw this loveseat that had been left under a highway overpass. It’s been tagged, and the investigative team is on the case. Unlawful trash dump inspector… Now there’s a job I would like to know more about!
