Trash Day
I have this week off. Time flies when you're not doing anything.
One of the things I love about living in New York is that trash day seems to be at least 3X a week vs. the once a week (which happened to be Tuesday) where I grew up. If you missed it you were SOL. It was one of my chores as a child, so if I missed the garbage truck at 7:00 am, I'd drag the trash through the woods to the next street in hopes to catch it before I went to school. I never have to do that here. Good thing because the closest woods are in Riverside or Central Park. Trash day here is kind of refreshing in that way.
Well, I noticed tonight as I was walking my stunning dog, that trash day apparently is upon us. I've seen lots of things get thrown out in NYC. Infact, that's how I've aquired some furniture. Please don't judge me. One man's trash is another man's treasure. But tonight for the first time I saw a wheelchair on the sidewalk waiting to be picked up by the sanitation dept. It's one of the saddest things I've ever seen in the trash. On the upside, I'm doing my best Ironsides impression as I write this. I guess all things discarded tell a story.
