Chicken Feed?

seed box 1

Walking down 8th Street this morning I spotted this box sitting on a bus stop bench/garbage can/billboard across the street from Grosvenor Park Centre shopping mall.  At first I was going to ignore it but curiosity got the better of me.

And what should I find inside...

...but a bunch of what appeared to be bird seed.  I would assume someone left it there deliberately to feed the local bird population, but if that's the case I'm not convinced leaving it in a cardboard box at a bus stop will work too well.

Tree-V.

Walking past the Centre at Circle and 8th on Monday I spotted this TV sitting in front of a tree. As you can see the tree is located in front of Centre East near the Tim Hortons.

Given the black spot on the screen this TV is certainly not working anymore. But why did the owner leave it there like that? This wasn't just stupidly throwing it out of their vehicle or what have you, but a deliberate act of...whatever the intent was of putting it there.

Whatever your intent, you got my attention at least.
