Blowing in the wind ...

The county has "improved" our trash collection system. We now make runs to a local waste collection station if we have items too large to fit into the one, the only, the official, wheeled, EZGO, 64 gallon waste cart, which was forced on us provided by the county. If a household wants an additional cart, the county gets $50 for it. Big Ed and I did just such a run, this morning. The item that would not fit into the EZGO cart was a truly defunct gas lawn mower.

The associate at the collection point treated it as if it were made of gold, setting it carefully aside after lifting it from the trunk for us. "Good for parts," he said.

It is indeed an ill wind ...

I have a feeling that is the first of many trips to the dump.

Yes, I too have to make many trips to the dump. How do we accumulate so many items we feel are important at the moment?

One of the things was a metal desk. No one wanted it. Poor thing. It went in pieces thanks to Big Ed.
