The only question is, why the hell has it been taking up space in the closet as long as it has?

I hope to soon do some more clearing out that will be affect a somewhat larger volume of space, but hey, every decision to let something go is a triumph in my life.

...and they looked just like you'd expect--overgrown with junk all over them...ick. Tossed 'em into the woods, and let the local wildlife have a feast...
