Garbage Day

May 1, 2018

Things I learned on garbage day around my neighborhood:

1. My neighbor has a preference for Gino’s Pizza, though others lean toward Domino’s and Little Caesars.

2. My neighbor bought a big Nerf toy for her young son. I’m sure I’ll be seeing the kid playing with it in the front yard soon.

3. Many were obviously spending a lot of quality time with their shredders recently. There were four full bags of shredded documents in front of one house down the street.

4. The house down the street that was flying his Canadian flag upside down finally figured out which way was up. Insert sarcastic applause here.

5. The traditional bucket from the Colonel even stands out in a garbage bag. I wonder if their advertising executives thought of that angle.

6. Farther away, someone has a serious Coke addiction.

7. A block away from Mr. Coke was someone who just bought a chandelier with 636 crystal beads. Trust me, when it starts accumulating dust and spider webs, you’ll be sorry.

8. Spotted near a garbage pile was a box top from a Tops-brand product. Shopping across the river, I see.

9. The Quali-Cat litter box seems to be popular.
