The mouse was the last to go. Along with the USB cable they lasted longer than any other item so far. Only a day but still surprising. Perhaps there are only Apple aficionados in my neighborhood and they know how old that mouse was.

Its been a while since stuff was left on my curb. Fortunately my across the street neighbors put a chair out on the curb a couple of days ago. Looks like a big old comfy recliner which certainly has seen better decades. How long did it take? Less than the time to go to work and come back is how long.

Next up for my curb is a desk lamp rescued from the back of my apartment building. The old grumps who live in the building are moving out finally and they just unloaded a ton of stuff into the dumpsters outback. Judging from the volume of stuff they threw out and the amount of boxes on their deck that apartment probably looked like a scene from the show Hoarders. The lamp works, it is definitely used. A missing bolt has been replaced a by a long bolt and wing nut. It adjusts and looks kind of cool. How long will it last? Judging by the amount of time other things have lasted, less than 24 hours. It's also Friday night coming up which means the lamp has a poor probability of surviving the night in one piece. Instead it will most likely end up in multiple pieces strewn about the neighborhood surrounded by empty booze cans.
