Can cars
He used to go to all the public functions...... especially the picture theaters. And he always carried a sugar bag to collect bottles and cans. His name was Albert Torney. Everyone thought he was a bit eccentric and kid would tease and hassle him. Then it was discovered that he sold the empty bottles and cans. After he died in 1998 (86) his large collection of model cars was discovered. This goes to prove......
"you should not judge a book by its cover or a sculptor by his sugar bag. Here is just some of his collection...... and quite amazing too....

That is very cool. I love the creativity of every day man. So many people are wrapped up in video games, cell phones, reality TV, and other types of B.S., it great to find out about people doing cool things like this.
