Rando junk of the year

Rando junk of the year

I thought I’d found something out of the ordinary when I found a mainly-intact walky-talky/gps/cell phone yesterday, but that is nothing compared to what we found today; two boxes of bananas sitting sedately by the side of Lusted Road just east (and UP) from Dodge Park (and the no-longer-in-existance viaduct bridge that used to carry Portland’s water supply from Bull Run down into Portland; I presume the ongoing federal government hysteria about terrorism is what put the thing underground through here. Oh well, it’s not as if those tax dollars could be put to use replacing bridges and building trolley lines here in Portland; I guess I should be thankful that the upper class actually pours city water on their gardens, otherwise we’d be having to buy water from water trucks.)

But anyway, there were bananas, which were reduced substantially while I stood there taking pictures (and hurray for fruit; bananas come in their own organic wrappings, so it’s pretty easy to tell if they’ve been broken open and are serving as a feast for yellowjackets and other more-disreputable creatures.)
