Doing the right thing

Sitting out on the back deck having a lung dart with a cup of coffee and enjoying the nice weather.
I noticed my neighbor jogging which he does on a reg bais but this time he was scrambling and randomly picking up wind driven news papers...
Well it was his news paper that was dropped off this morning at his driveway and it was blowing all over the the place and our neighborhood. lawns, driveways,in trees ect pretry funny chit cuse it wasn't me for once...As he was being very noble and doing his best collecting his papers there was papers behind him blowing towards him as he was focused picking up the one's in front of him,quite comical almost TV script worthy. But he was definitely determined to get them all.

Well he did it,and it took him all about 5 min. But he did it.

Would you do the same or give it a half assed atempte. ..

We all know that we would do the same but would you?

Just floating it out there.

Or guys pull the boat and just toss crap off when it's on the trailer. Drives me nuts.

If raccoons get into the trash or the recycle bin blows over I always get it all. Sucks but that's life.

That happens all the time,it does suck and I do have neighbors who have their trash kick over in high winds on trash day and don't pick up what blew out there,and it irks me because I'm down wind,which reminds me of the fall,I use my leaf blower and time to get rid of their leaves,because they don't, if I leave there's there leaves which will blow into my yard so I go into there yard and do it myself.which a favor to me by getting rid of there share of leaves....

Ahhh,fences make good neighbors. ...Why don't they put em up?

Couple years ago I finds a note in my mailbox...
Dear neighbors ,,, blah blah blah... Something about keeping our yards clean...
I immediately put two nasty old beach chairs and a chit load of empty silver bullets all over my lawn and left them there for a couple weeks,,,, no more notes

I would pick up all the news paper as long as nobody told me to... :-)

Your truly, Neighbor from hell

I was a sanitation engineer on the Cape for about eight years as a yout and am sort of touchy about the whole trash removal thing (mine is like an art form). I think there's a lot of people who just don't have a clue and think that their taxes pay for the G-men to clean up their mess, or they just prefer to look the other way when their crap's blowing all over the neighborhood. After a high wind on recycling day when I take the dog out it's like a war zone with cans clinking down the street, newspapers in trees and shrubs and a lot of it isn't cleaned up for days.
A number of years back my new neighbor (real nice guy deep down), Zaki the Wacky Paki's trash got raided by a raccoon or something and his crap was spewing out all over in front of his house. Well first his wife left for work, slowed down, looked at it and drove off through it, then he did practically the same thing, but went around. Garbage guys took a lot of it but it was still a mess after. Couple days later they finally cleaned it up and later he told me he called the town and complained that they didn't pick his trash up. I said, "Really? You should have thanked them for as much as they did. Maybe thing about getting some metal garbage cans instead of using laundry baskets." That was all it took, but for some I guess it just doesn't sink in. (Their first snow in the neighborhood was even funnier, picture a family of four, not prepared for winter dress, sneakers, no gloves, out trying to shovel their driveway with boards leftover from when their house was built).

I've done a fair amount of travel and down south and out west where I did most of it, you just don't see the crap on the side of the road you see in this state of pigs. They have pick-ups too, but for whatever reason, they don't have litter lining every heavily traveled road in the state.

A few years back I really got into the faces of four teenagers I was driving behind in Pembroke one day. I'm behind a small sedan and suddenly our the windows on both sides go the big McDonalds cups and the bags of trash. Unfortunately for them, they pulled into a parking lot right after and boy didn't I light into them for being four ugly little piglets.
