    Just think of how many trees have been murdered
    on your behalf.
    It's often on my mind...go into the grocery store and get a loaf of bread. Toss the 16" receipt on the way out. I'm still trying to figure out
    why they
    want to give me a receipt at the liquor store or, back when I was
    buying one, a
    fishing license. Will I have to bring it back because it's defective?
    Being a
    genuine old phart I've been given a free lifetime hunting/trapping/fishing license.

    Right now my big task (aside from getting my
    junk out of the house) is shredding all the
    documents with bank account numbers and socials
    and stuff like that. My parents were pretty
    compulsive about keeping stuff - my own attitude
    is likely to be a direct reaction to that -, and
    it appears that a couple of the account numbers
    are the same as before, worse luck. I've filled
    a big rolling bin full of confetti and it looks
    like there's another to go.

    And then there are all those magazines that are
    too nice to throw away but too inconvenient to keep.
    Here in Anchorage I take them up to the second floor and leave them in the library, down in Lake Havasu they go over to the clubhouse.

    The Society was too successful for its own
    good: woe to the benighted soul who tries to
    sell his collection of the magazines.

    Uhhh...there are commercial folks who'll bring a truck to your house and do the
    paper by the trash barrel at a time. Popular folks around here at banks and the hospitals. My lawyer used one also back when she was still practicing. Here at Geezer Gardens we have a guy who'll haul mine over to the shredders for
    $10 a giant canvas bag (basically a large trash can I guess) at a time, his cost, he's only trying to recycle. Which I won't get into since we've discussed this in the past.

    I know a guy who's set goes back to the WWI, or before. If you show up for the
    picnic you'll meet him, he's the one having the picnic. Me, I've seen them on
    either CD's or DVD's I forget which (if I was interested that would be more my
    style). But I've just gotten done viciously culling so I didn't have to move things.

    Several times a year, credit unions here host shredding events. A
    monster shredding truck pulls into a parking lot for a day. People come
    by with their boxes full of old documents and can watch them get turned
    into confetti. If you want, we could store some boxes here for you and
    take them there the next time it happens.
