That's a good outcome, Mary, I hope he gets back to town and reaches out to people.

Today I made a run to Goodwill and had an interesting conversation with the guy working the donation doors. I handed over bags and he pointed at the several VHS players also in there. When I told him I was taking them for eWaste at the university he said they now also collect it, bundling it into large boxes the size that washers come in, and it goes to a warehouse where buyers bid on whole boxes for scrap and recycling. I gave him those players and the conversation shifted to all of the things Goodwill discards and bundles and sells. It turns out we both have shopped a famous thrift shop in Green Valley, just north of Nogales, AZ, and discussed the used goods that travel to Mexico. I'll still take things like old hard drives to the university, where they have an annual event to securely discard data devices.

Unrelated to decluttering, after hearing an interview of Carol Burnett by Stephen Colbert it turns out she is a wiz at Wordle. She has gotten it on the first try six times, and named the six words. And since one of them is one of my starting words I worked out a new pair since I doubt they reuse words on the game (between the two words all vowels and y are on the board).
