Feed the crows

So they changed our garbage collection day on us, to save money. We had to wait an extra week—normally collection is every two weeks— and change the day of the week too. But because our new weekday is Friday, and because the first collection on the new schedule was going to fall on Good Friday, the first new collection day was set for today, a Saturday.

Needless to say, some people didn't know about it and set their garbage out on the old regular day (a week ago Thursday). Some other people knew that it was now on a Friday so they set their garbage out last Friday. And finally, not only did they change the date they also changed the time, from 8am to 7am. Where formerly it was illegal to set your garbage out the night before (but many people did), now we are required to set it out the night before.

Well!

We all did that, including the formerly confused folks. And here it is 11am and all our garbage is still sitting out there with nary a garbage truck in sight.

The crows are having a field day.
