Cord prongs

Blows my mind. Just like people throwing away aluminum cans. Do people really like throwing money away? Because that's what it boils down to. Cans, zippers, cord prongs = money! It all adds up. And yes I take the time to pick up pennies from the parking lot...

Exactly. I don't know how big of an organization I may become but I will likely always be picking up paperclips, bobby pins or bottle caps in parking lots regardless. Yes, even zippers, prongs, antennas...Even those wires that are so tiny you can hardly pinch them. It ALL adds up, no matter how small or big you are.



My wife says I have a huge grin on my face when I find something metal, even on the tiny things in walmart parking lots. I guess that means I love what I do.
