Conneaut man keeps active
and he already walked from his home to the lakefront,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pulling a small grocery cart behind him. The cart held his ball cap, a wad of plastic shopping bags and a few smashed aluminum cans that Myers planned to sell to the scrap yard. At this rate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he was making about 10 cents a mile.
He shuffled from trash can to trash can at the public dock and marina,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hopeful that under each lid would be a cache of cans left behind by soda-guzzling teens or beer-sucking fishermen.

Fuller had it custom built,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Myers said. was resting in bed and got to thinking a lot of work with those wheelbarrows, so I make his life a little easier. />
When the wagon, which is 7 1/2-feet long,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is filled with enough scrap to make the trip worth his trouble,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Myers pulls it across a bridge to the scrap yard. Continued..
