I know this is not a prison story, but I wanted to write it anyway. I was fortunate enough to come across some copper wire the other day and so I took it home. I stripped away the insulation and had occasion to visit the scrap yard. I love the thought of recycling and getting paid for it is even better!

I am happy to inform everybody that I ended up with 51 pounds of number 1 copper wire. I received $2.30 per pound for a grand total of $117.30. I was as happy as could be as I can always use a little extra cash. Maybe I’ll be able to help the economy a little and help someone keep their job!
