HEY GARBAGE MAN!!!!

YOU'RE FIRED!

That's a great thing about not having city garbage pick-up. You can fire them.
Remember how Yankee was curious about garbage pickup a week or two ago? Well, last week our garbage pick up fell on the 4th of July. Of course, we did not think they would be here that day. Probably on the 5th.

A few days past and Cari took our trash to the dump herself. Then she called the garbage people. Yeah, I just called them garbage.
They said they couldn't come at all because it would put off some of their customers later in the week. They have a lot of customers on Thursday and Friday and didn't want to disrupt them.

Cari answered, "Well, now you have a little more time for them. We cancel."

They cried a bit, but it wasn't worth it. When Cari was on the phone with the new company, they said they had several customers switch over last week for the same reason. They said they would pick up, even if it was a holiday week.

Cari asked me, "Should we tell Yankee?"
I asked her to please not tell him. Let him figure it out.

My vote is to just put your trash with the Yankee's. Saves your money, drives him nuts. Just do it early. Don't put anything with your name on it in there . . .

I'm thinking about this. If everyone on the block put all our garbage cans at one house, then if everyone chips in like one or two dollars a month.. we all win. Except, we wouldn't invite Yankee.

We all win, except the garbage man. And that's ok. Oh, and except Yankee family too.
