For a couple of years, when I was about 11 or 12 years old, a friend, Tommy
Greene, and I used to ride our bicycles, pulling our little Radio Flyer wagons
with a rope, to the local dump to dig out returnable bottles, which had a
2-cent value each. Bought us a lot of comic books and candy. Not sure if either
benefited us much, but we felt like entreprenuers.
