Excerpt for an August 15th article in the Boston Globe about Somerville resident Tiffany Sedaris and her weekly bike ride to find art materials in people's trash (by Jina Moore):

At nearly 9 one Tuesday night, Tiffany leads her red Bianchi bicycle and
matching wooden cart down the driveway and takes a right. Tuesday nights
start on Lowell Street, and end wherever they end. Cars and people have all
but disappeared at this hour. Tiffany rides past four houses, U-turns, and
hops off her bike almost before it stops moving. She unties a black Hefty
bag and prods its contents with a flashlight, which she always carries,
with other basic tools, in a duffel bag. Taking nothing, she ties it back
up. ''If I'm neat," she says with a grin, ''you can't tell where I
started."
