Because the rest of the banking world was on holiday, we could not get much work done at the mortgage factory and were unchained from our computers early. Feeling restless I took to the alleys, searching, as always for sightings of chairs by the side of the road and this season, shrub tubs in the recycle bins. My crawl netted five planters. So while it may be early for the rich people to start their spring landscaping, the fire station at Roland and Upland is always reliable in the discarded chair department.
