Changes due to my Urban Existence

Time was I took my trash to the local pickup point on some remote intersection and that was that. Nowadays I have to conform to the city's requirements for this.

It includes a recycle container as well as a trash one and there is a schedule published appertaining to the ins and outs of moving the waste and recycle product in a predictable and efficient manner.

As in keeping with all of this I will change the pickup day to Wednesday in lieu of the Thursday usual in the name of observing Thanksgiving.

This requires checking the city schedule for such events as they occur — and this pops up around major holidays on an infrequent basis.

So rather than the open and casual dumping of the trash I have to get all formal in the name of being the good citizen in the modern American urban jungle.

In accordance with these requirements I will comply as I do and have done for as long as my feeble mind can remember anymore. Thirty years in the city will do this to you regardless of how countrified you may have once been.

Happy Thanksgiving.
