9 July – The Little Mermaid – Dumpster Diving Edition

I made a return trip to the garbage dump today. And no, it wasn't just to look for dolls. The heavy steel dumpsters, overflowing yesterday, had been emptied, and the contents of the black plastic trash bag of toys that had been pinned beneath a dumpster were scattered all over the ground. The Little Mermaid was among the spoiled spoils. As was a bright red knock-off My Little Pony.

And... I was able to rescue Dumpster Diver Barbie! And her horse!

Dumpster Diver Barbie is Saved! Yay!

And if you look closely, to the left of the horse, is that a Bratz doll, missing a foot, buried head-down in the rubble and refuse??
Indeed it is... and I found her missing foot!

All in all, a productive day at the dump.

True Amusing Fact: the dump in this little town has a pretty good reputation for finding "treasures." It is referred to by the residents as the town's Walmart.
