Finally, a produce success!

I'd say that it's about time that I found something good in this produce dumpster. I was about to give up hope, but I decided to make the trek up there one night last week anyway. (Sidenote: When I didn't have time to dive, and I actually had to buy produce, I came here a few times. It was tough paying for things that looked hardly better than what I'd found in their trash. Tough.)


Anyway, the payoff was good this time! It doesn't look like much, but I had a hard enough time carrying back those two watermelons. There were at least 10 watermelons in the dumpster, and I thought about taking three, but that would have been miserable to carry. Along with the watermelons, I got a cantaloupe and some apples. The cantaloupe was maybe a bit overripe, but still just as good as any I've bought in a store, but the watermelons, at least the one that I've eaten so far, were amazing; they're incredibly sweet and juicy, and I can see or taste nothing wrong with them. Why they were in the dumpster, I'll never know. Unfortunately, since I went the night before the dumpster was emptied, I expect that the others all went to waste and were never eaten. Poor watermelons.
