So I check that out when I can. I'd love to be able to go in the dumpster area and look around. Such a waste for sure. Especially for something still alive. <br />1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-85298092257258416192017-05-05T00:43:42.213-05:002017-05-05T00:43:42.213-05:00"The urge to live". that's a pretty..."The urge to live". that's a pretty powerful statement too.
