Sometimes people throw out things with, I suspect, half the hope that someone else will take them. Outside a tall apartment building on East 92nd Street, I was drawn by a gigantic pottery mobile. It must have weighed about 15 pounds. Next to it was some kitchen ware, and wrapped up inside a measuring cup was the brass door knocker. That I took out of the trash and left them lying on top of the bags. Fifteen minutes later they were gone. Pull Up a Chair, or Four.
