I've never understood how people that will demand immediate action, when their garbage isn't removed from the curb, will idly sit and let the feckless Federal government waste so much money without getting anything done.
Maybe it's the size of the tasks, but still, if the trash isn't removed, the garbage continues to pile up at the curb.
I'm waiting for the trash pickup at 1600 Pennsylvania.

DeleteI love the Penn & Teller "Bullshit" series, which I'm sure you've seen and probably have a shrine to in your basement, lit with those electric candles because real candles are dangerous and should be banned of course. Well, it's a comment. I suck at commenting. Obviously.
ReplyDeleteI've never been much for candles. When you put them out, the smell of the smoldering wick offsets any pleasant odor the scent might offer.
DeleteMy shrine is filled with solar powered LED lights, which look like candles, but are environmentally friendly, green powered, offer no heat, and let me pretend I'm an astronaut in outer space.
And, I'm glad you visited to comment. If I'd known you were coming, I'd put on another pot of coffee and cooked some extra pancakes.
