took some scrap metal to the scrap yard for work, payment was what they gave me for it. me and one of my co workers thought I would only get $10 to $15. I think my boss thought I would get more. ended up being $27.20 for just under 200lbs of scrap.
that made me start thinking that was a be a good way to save up more for a new ball or supplies for my other hobby.

I know lots of people with this same story. But they are all homeless and have no computer access accept the public library.

Since I walk buy them and pretend they don't exist....no, not necessarily. I just assume if a homeless person had spare scrap metal money...what else is he going to spend it on? Of course he's going to put it towards bowling equipment.

Funny thing about that though... I never seem to see any bowling balls in those shopping carts...

They have to keep them under the trash bags to keep the other homeless people from stealing them

They hide 'em in the empty liquor bottles. The bottles rattle an alarm when someone tries to lift the balls.

Hah! Should have said "piles of empty bottles..."

Although, you know those winos -- probably have a jeroboam laying around somewhere that might fit a bowling ball...
