Take up thy bed...

It is the custom in Esperaza to put out unwanted stuff on the first Weds of the month to be collected by what is unblinkingly referred to as Le Monstre. It's a Good Thing; on the Tuesday evening it's possible to wander about and furnish a house. Much of my furniture here arrived in this fashion. 
This morning I was alarmed to note the number of beds that are on the streets. Have people restocked with new beds? Is it a spring rite? Is the death toll rising??
