I have probably shredded two full garbage bags worth of various files that we'd been hanging on to for an amazing amount of time. For example, I just sent a grad-school project back to the person I worked on it with. It was from 1993! I'd been carrying around the code and writeup for a DOS profiler for 13 years! All of this purging is starting to feel good, though still a little worrisome. "What if I need that some day?" I just threw out the siphoning hose I got from Pop-pop to go with my car when I turned 16 (20 years ago.) I've NEVER siphoned gasoline. The only time I remember him using it was to take gas out of the 1973 VW bug, to get some for the lawn mower at the shack. He didn't manage to get it out of his mouth quite in time and so wound up with a mouthful of gas. Yuck!
