Trash Pick-Up: Ensign Rd, Olympia

Community Service

Trash was mounting in my neighborhood, pouring over from the bushes into the streets--maddening chaos. "Enough is enough!" I said. I worked from where Ensign meets Lilly Road and went down the street to the Chehalis Western Trail. A guy walking his dog told me about how police arrested a guy on the trail the previous day. The guy said that he pointed the cops to where this fugitive was hiding--where he saw the guy run into the woods.

The most interesting item had to be this paper clip wrapped in electrical tape I found a few meters into the woods, hidden badly under a log. Is it a DIY tattoo gun? Is it for use with drugs? I don't know these things, but it looked funky.
