Junk Peddlar Redux

        Seeing this sight in front of my own house this morning (they were picking up some stuff from us), it immediately took my mind back to the early days of Jewish immigrants in the U.S.  Collecting discarded or used stuff from others for resale was a major way to start making a living in this country for those without much of anything to begin with.

       This time it's gasoline and truck instead of horse and cart.   And the language I heard was Spanish mixed with a little English, instead of a bissel English mixed in with the Yiddish.
