Here where I’m living now I can’t put shredded paper in the recycles bin that gets picked up from the apartment, but the transfer station will take it. It bugs Mrs. ArGee that she can’t just put it in this bin. “Doesn’t it all go to the same place?” Apparently not.
The process for sheet paper vs shredded paper is different.
We can’t put glass in our bin, but you can take it to a county drop-of location.
With so many “greenies” in this country you’d think someone could organize them to go around door-to-door and manually collect stuff, make sure it’s all proper, and take it to the recycling center.
You know, since they care about the planet and all.
Supposed to get hot out here.
Area “Cooling Stations” are available.
I have no idea how I made it past 8th Grade without any A/C.
By all modern metrics I should’ve heat stroked out and died.
We aren’t anywhere close to the strength of our forebears.

Great picture.
We’re having a break from being hot. Now we’re being drenched.
It's actually Thorsday, but we don't argue with catz.
There will be no Morning Kitteh on Friday or Saturday: my husband and I are going on short trip for kayaking in the swamp.
Good morning. Happy Friday Eve!
Kayaking in the swamp sounds like fun. I didn’t know DC actually had any places to go kayaking.
The estate is finally listed in the interwebs. Now for the offers to come pouring in. Or not.
Holding on to a 3/6 trend with Wordle. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Good Morning!
trying to decide if I want to go to town early and get some stuff done when I get back, or the inverse....
I don’t think that I ever got two of these in a row...

Nice job.
I always prefer going to town early as it’s less crowded.
That is, when I have to go to town.
Um ... I actually like Triscuts.
Happy Thursday...
Building out some laptops for a client. She’s a little... distracting... Very cute, very Christian, very married... *sigh*

Good luck with the estate! I hope it moves quickly.
You've described trash collection in Egypt!

You have a son in NYC, right?
You probably know by now that in NYC people start at oh-dark-thirty to go through the bins and pull out the metals they can get cash for. They also pull out deposit cans and bottles. People carry HUGE bags full of the stuff they’ve pulled from the bins. Some even have trucks nearby to take the bags to wherever they go.
The commissioner of DSNY has tried to claim that’s a crime. But they don’t stop it. Those people do a great job of cleaning out the recycling bins of anything that’s good to recycle. The rest can just be landfilled (but from a separate container so people feel good).
