I keep missing the recycling truck every Wednesday morning for the last couple of weeks. It just seems to show up before I get out of bed. I guess the object is to do it the night before. Anyway, what a gorgeous night outside! It's been great since we shook all of that damn rain. Now, there's just a very slight breeze out there. The neighborhood is quiet. It just made me want to go take a walk.
Update: Crap... Wednesday morning the garbage truck came first instead of the recycling truck and I missed taking out the garbage!!!
I'm all for new technologies being used in day-to-day things, but this is just upsetting. Carol bought some Hershey bars. I went into the fridge to grab one (yes, I keep them refrigerated - they don't melt and have a nice "snap" to them when you crack them along the correct lines), when I noticed they changed the packaging. They messed with a classic. Gone are the paper sleeve over the foil/paper wrap. It's been replaced with that vacuum mylar crap. I feel it's just another part of my childhood ripped away.
