Lost and Found

The amount of flotsam and jetsam that emerges from the melting snow around here is amazing. In addition to the usual rubbish, on just a short walk today I saw:

a car battery
a used condom (ew!)
a paisley pillow case
various bits of unidentifiable electrical circuitry and wires
a crude, medieval-looking broom made from what looks like straw tied to a tree branch (dropped by a passing witch?)
pieces of broken furniture
various misfit toys

It made me feel like an archaeologist on a dig, trying to comprehend some peculiar civilization.
