The garbage/recycling collectors usually do not come by until mid-afternoon, so you can probably imagine my surprise when I was standing out in the kitchen (sans pants) with a fresh cup of coffee in my hand as I watched them cruise by in the back alley at 08:30.

We do not produce a lot of garbage in a week, so we'll be okay for missing a week. It is still cold enough that the volatiles in our garbage will not begin to stink if I haul it all out to the bin and leave it until next Thursday. I guess I'll have to get back into the habit of taking everything out on Wednesday evening and wheeling it out right after [personal profile] atara goes to work.

I'm still on track with my "picture a day" project this year. Unlike previous years, I've set myself reminders this time around, and I've got into the habit of (usually) taking a picture of something early in the day so that I am covered if I forget later. Aside from watching the garbage truck roll by, I also saw the neighbour's dog romping about in the fresh snow that fell overnight, and I decided to grab my camera while she was being photogenic.

I don't know her name, and I don't really care to because she's a moderately unpleasant creature - though she has her moments.

Their other dog is just a vile little teeth-baring, growling, snorting yap machine.

The city went with (in their words) "the lowest bidder" for our new garbage and recycling collection. People who were supposed to have their garbage collected last Wednesday are still waiting to have it picked up, and now they are complaining about the lousy service.

We went with the company who promised to do the work for the least amount of money, and now we wonder why the service is not the greatest. It's possible that it is because they are using cheap equipment, with the fewest, lowest paid staff they can manage to get away with in order to come in with a really low bid but remain profitable.
