[quote=SK in CV]I don’t know if I should be embarrassed to say this…but what the hell.

I have no experience dumpster diving. I do, however, have a son who is apparently very experienced. He lives in a norcal old hippie town. Someone else mentioned the (urbanrealtor I think?) punk culture influence, and that’s probably where he got it. He knows what days of the week to go to what stores, bakeries, restaurants, distributors. He doesn’t get all his food this way, but a lot of it, shares it with his household, the household next door, etc.

I was visiting a couple years ago when one of his roommates came home with the weekly take from the commercial bakery. Expected a couple dozen loaves of 3 or 4 day old bread. Instead got a bag full of dope. Had to be 3 or 4 lbs. Not good shit mind you. Stems and leaves, no buds. Maybe remnants. But still.

Course that got shared all around too. The things people throw away these days.[/quote]

Funny thing.
I have a recurring issue with gutter punks (the ones that sit there high and ask you for change as you walk by) parking in front of my office (we are near Ichiban).
One of the things I have said to them to get them to go is to remind that them that essentially, I am doing the same thing. Please don’t crowd.
