aluminum rule

Useful range of finds today--useful for different purposes, that is.

For the local homeless shelter: a large backpack, a zip-up fleece jacket, and two thick cotton hooded sweatshirts.

For my local charity shop: two sweater dresses.

For who knows who at this point: two digital cameras with accessories.

For my scrap metal pile: a brass hookah and many feet of copper wire.

And for me: a vintage aluminum folding rule with brass fittings.
