Dumpster Diving Cows

Not many people can claim an office with a view, but it's one of the fringe benefits of my current job. At any point in the day, I could stand up, turn around, walk three feet, and stare out at the landscape. The view is not usually spectacular, you sometimes get some foot traffic through a barren alley by a dumpster, but occasionally a mini-herd of cows comes to graze on trash. Where I'm from, you will see mostly squirrels and dogs scrounging about in the trash, but out here, there's so little grass, that the cows have to survive somehow. If it's true that you are what you eat, no wonder the beef in these parts leaves something to be desired.
