I think I'm developing a weird but positive addiction

It is weirdly fun! I live near a big undeveloped field/forest that has all these old, abandoned fig trees that fruit in late August. I liked to go and pick a bag of figs and ended up buying one of those garbage picker uppers to reach higher branches.

Well then it looked weird if I was walking around with a garbage picker upper so I brought along a second bag and started picking up after the shindigs the teenage stoners threw in the forest. It was kinda fun and rewarding, I always filled the one bag so I started bringing two. Got lots of smiles from dog walkers and joggers.

I ran into a lady whose house backed up to the figs once and chatted about the fruit and the stoners and she offered to leave a bag out there so maybe the teenagers would throw away their own trash that she would then cart away. It actually worked and I stopped having to bring the picker upper cause I only ever find a couple things to pick up now, if anything :)
