Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources.

By recovering the discards of retailers, offices, schools, homes, hotels, or anywhere by rummaging through their trash bins, dumpsters, and trash bags, freegans are able to obtain food, beverages, books, toiletries magazines, comic books, newspapers, videos, kitchenware, appliances, music (CDs, cassettes, records, etc.), carpets, musical instruments, clothing, rollerblades, scooters, furniture, vitamins, electronics, animal care products, games, toys, bicycles, artwork, and just about any other type of consumer good. Rather than contributing to further waste, freegans curtail garbage and pollution and lessening the over-all volume in the waste stream.

Here are some pictures of Arven. This was his first dental visit.

This is Maninder Singh. He kept adjusting his pug... pushing and pulling on the sides. It was pretty cute.

Mohkm Singh is Pinky's nephew. This was his first dental visit...

We've been having a few problems at the dental clinic. Initially everything was working fine, but then the digital x-rays stopped working. Those were fixed, but there was still something wrong with the network. After a few hours it was found that someone (you know who you are! [shaking fist vigorously]) had changed the network settings, thinking that she knew what she was doing. Everything seems to be on track now.

My friend Sonia came in this evening. Here she's getting her teeth polished by Pinky:


Her son, Arven, also came in for his first dental visit. He was really well behaved, and even let me check his teeth (rare for kids his age).
