There’s money in moose turds

Mary Winchenbach gets excited when she sees "a moose take a turd." Who doesn't, Mary?

She makes art -- and apparently a living (although her fulltime gig is at a seawood fertilizer plant) --from moose turds, and suddenly our career choice seems misguided.

Winchenbach, 57, started her business -- Turdy Works -- a decade ago, the Boston Globe says.

"People need to lighten up and chill out and have a good time, ” she says.
