my neighbor is 78 years old,he and his wife draw socical security. They probably only draw the bare minimum which I think is 350 dollars now. He salvages metal from what ever he can find, he collects and sells pop cans he pick up along the road. He salvages copper from old small appliances and sells the copper. My son told me that copper was bringing 3 dollars a pound at the local junk yard. I guess you know my neighbor is busy this morning.
I might mention he walks the roads and collects the cans, once last summer he got so hot that strangers brought him home but the next day he was on the road again one of these days he may die along the road collecting aluminum cans.

Remember the old Bicycle Man that walked the roads in Northern Arkansas and picked up cans.....
We have to do what we have to do
to survive. He is busy anyway.
yes, I remember the bicycle man.
aluminum cans are 70 cents a pound. that is a 20 cent rise in one year.
