Re: dumpster diving

[rick]

hee hee,
I used to live in Santa Cruz 35 yrs ago. Haven't read the book, thought
the title entertaining. 
Around here the dumpsters only give aluminum cans (or so I've been
told).

Can someone explain to me why people asking for a hand-out get uptight &
sometimes pissy when I give them a can of tuna or a piece of fruit or
offer them an item of utile clothing?
