Abstract

The guy at Gillman's Hardware didn't need much prompting: "That's what you do when you're rich and spoiled," he said. I'd explained that I'd found a grill on the street the night before while walking my dog. All it needed was some turnbuckles to firm up the legs, and maybe some black rust paint. Eleven bucks in hardware for a grill worth a couple hundred. "When I was their age, I was busy fixing things. They just throw 'em away."
