War on clutter - Casualties

All wars have casualties. With a few tears I bid a fond farewell to my pencil collection. Back in the day, whenever we'd take a trip I'd buy a pencil from the gift shop (it was a heck of a lot cheaper than a t-shirt). I'd also save pencils with cool designs, fun toppers, and whatnot, but for many years now it has simply gathered dust on a shelf.
And so, I donate them now to a charity that sends school supplies to Africa. May they find as much utility in the collection as I found joy.
