When the Micro Manager and I come home in the car, I let her out first and she goes to unlock the door. It also takes her a while to get shoes off etc. so that there's room for me to get in the entrance. I usually poke around the yard for a few minutes. There's always something to do in a couple of minutes. I can also check my plants. How many new tomatoes do I have today?
Yesterday we came home and I picked weeds in the garden. All of a sudden I heard the blue box lid being opened. The blue box is on the outside of the garden fence. I could see somebody. They dug out the papers and were looking through my papers. I didn't want to open the gate and say, "Get the hell out of here." But I did want to see who was at the garbage cans. This bum must be a good reader. Is the bum using the paper to find a job? Is the bum a news junky.
It was taking a long time. I waited and got impatient and went in the house.
I looked out the back window, but I couldn't see enough to recognize if it was male or female.
I watched for about 15 min. and then the bum gathered up all the paper and neatly put it back in the blue box. I thought that this was a fairly neat bum to put things back.
When the bum walked away, I could see that it was the Micro Manager. She had been looking for an article in a paper that had been thrown out.
Should I throw the bum out???
Now I ranted on my last post. This is going to be one of those little picky annoyances.
We have blue box service which picks up material which can be recycled...tin cans, paper and some plastics. I am fully supportive of recycling. I think there should be more recycling as more things could be and should be recycled and reused. I applaud our city and all other cities that have set up a blue box service.
We are requested to take off all labels. Most labels come of very easily. However about 10% of the labels are extremely difficult to remove. Soak them! Scrape them! Try as you like , the label comes off in tiny little pieces.
So here's my pitch. Why can't the people at the beginning of the process communicate with the people at the end of the process and have glue on the labels that makes it easy to take off the label?
Has anybody else had this problem or am I just a whiner?
