milk crates and box hunting

tuesday was a first for me...we started packing dom's stuff up and he likes to use milk crates....so we walked to cvs to see if they had any sitting out back...they did so we became owners of a couple of milk crates...we packed those up and ran out of things to pack in...so off we went again in search of more milk crates and/or boxes...we took the car this time...we drove around stopping at a couple of liquor stores to see if we could get some boxes...they had a ton of boxes but wouldn't let us have any of them because of everyone buying booze and needing a box to carry it home...they told us to check back on the 5th...so we were driving around looking for a parking spot so we could run into the grocery store and ask about boxes when we spotted the jackpot...on a side street there was a whole pile of boxes next to a dumpster....(someone must have moved into the neighborhood)...we filled the trunk and to add to our joy we found 4 more milk crates at a different cvs on our way home...
i should let you know that we spent some time in the morning walking up and down the alley behind dom's place looking for boxes...we did find some good ones...kinda an odd feeling walking around looking in people's garbage for boxes...haaaaaaaaaaaa
we spent the day packing and sorting things out...thankfully not a lot was destroyed in the flooding that happened in the basement...
we met up with some of dominic's friends later for a few drinks...went to bed with the sound of thunderstorms in our ears...
