Garages and Closets

Almost every family has a garage and almost every person has a closet.  They use it for storage and simply putting old things out of sight.  If someone were to dissect these rooms of trash and unwanted objects they can learn a lot.  Garages and closets reflects where people have been, what they wore, what they did, and who they were.  When I was younger my family would clean out the garage every 6 months.  I didn't realize it until now how interesting it is to analyze your old objects.  There were a few painting that we had in our garage that were hideous and I proceeded to make fun of my mom for ever purchasing such a horrible mixture of paint.  In her defense those paintings were very "in" during the 90's.  I remember cleaning out my closet one day and coming across a jacket i once used for snowboarding.  I laughed at myself for ever buying a jacket that puffy and ugly.  I guess I thought it was cool too look obese.  Another funny thing about garages, at least in my family, is that once an object has been used and then put in the garage it will never be used again.  There are things like camping gear and other seasonal possessions that will be used, but for the most part we pile up our crap until it gets too high and then we get rid of it.  Realistically there is no difference between a trash can and a garage.  They both hold used products or objects that will never be used again.  The recycling of trash, is equivalent to giving your old things to a Goodwill or Salvation Army.  Since this is so common with families garages, maybe there should be a Garage man as well as a Garbage man.

Whats interesting is that if you put the letter "b" in Garage, it is Garbage.
