In case you're wondering how to give a robot vacuum nightmares, I turned mine on its edge to clear out a jam and it screamed "I AM TOO CLOSE TO A CLIFF PLEASE REPOSITION ME." You're welcome.

When I take the dog for a walk in the boonies, I pick up any trash I find. It's mostly beer bottles and cigarettes (covered in DNA!) or fast-food receipts and junk mail (with names on them!). Today, I also found a few dozen old pennies, a broken mirror, a ponytail holder, and an unspent bullet.
