Now, this is where I'm lucky - my wife makes a point of driving through the transfer station every time she goes into town, and has been given the quick course in differentiating worthwhile from WalMart. She realizes that I'm funding this obsession with flippers, and is overjoyed that it's not taking from the mortgage payment. Now, if I could only teach her about getting a bike into the back of the Mazda without scratching the hell out of the back bumper . . . . .
