Mr Potato profile photo is something I used to have out frequently.
Banner photo of a stick family was on the car, still fairly accurate.

@erin One boxed juice product I've been buying at Farm Boy is also available at Metro. Over the past five years the price has recently jumped from $3.50 to $3.99. At Metro the price climbed about 50ยข per year to reach $5.99
Some things are cheaper at Farm Boy.

Edit: added Metro shelf photo from last April, changed price above to 5.99
Their web site says the price may now be lower.

@kevinbowrin I had pulled it out because I was going to disconnect one of the wires into it. It had power in and two out, and I was simplifying it.
I think the previous owner had a source of "free" wire from work. I've pulled out lots of unnecessary wire.

This outlet was my most recent home maintenance surprise. It was behind a shelf unit and apparently not one of the ones we inspected after moving in.
Luckily, it was more ugly than unsafe; everything was still firmly attached.

Hot side of an electrical outlet, pulled out from the wall. It is not wired well.Neutral side of an electrical outlet pulled out from the wall. There should be only one wire per screw and little bare wire exposed. This shows a third wire wrapped around the head of the screw to go under the far side.Closer view of the hot side Three wires come over the top of the screws to enter from the front side. There is a lot of exposed copper. There is another scrap of wire that has been used to restore the missing jumper. This puts three wires under the rightmost screw.
