They call me dump diver...
Für alle, die nicht wirklich wissen, was das bedeutet, hier die Definition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumpster_diving
Und das nur, weil ich hinterm Cross Cancer Institute zwei Stühle gefunden habe...
einen Bürostuhl für die langen Nächte beim Daten Auswerten am Computer...
während yoko "lay back and relax" parktiziert...
And I have learned, daß sich "nur" 15 Stunden nördlich von hier anscheinend der bestorganisierteste Sperrmüllhaufen von ganz Kanada befindet :-)
Yellowknife (Northwest Territories)
It’s the last stop on the highway that cuts through the taiga landscape and whaleback granite surrounding Great Slave Lake. It’s a terminal city, and it’s remote—a fifteen-hour drive north from Edmonton if you take it in a straight shot and the weather’s on your side.
It’s hard to get here by road and it’s expensive to fly. The story is no different for freight. So, most of what comes to Yellowknife stays in Yellowknife, and, sooner or later, it ends up at the local dump, which festers just a couple minutes drive from downtown. Stereos, records, TV sets, cars, ancient sets of encyclopedia, furniture, building materials, rotting food, even jewelry and cash—it’s all here amid the spent diapers, decaying insulation, and, occasionally, caribou or muskox parts.
If you see something you like, you can haul it away for free.
"This is the Ikea of garbage dumps"
Ich würd da aber eher wegen der Aurora hinfahren...
But, its a very long drive..., wenn ich Glück hab, kann ich das sogar hier in Edmonton erleben...
