Today was highway cleanup. The Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce members and other volunteers showed up bright and early to walk along the highway and pick up garbage. We actually do it once a quarter and it helps keep our community clean and in good shape,
This morning we were blessed by fabulous weather after a week of snow and sleet. The sun shone bright and it made the job much easier. But after spending a couple of hours picking up garbage I have a couple of realizations. Most of the garbage was either alcohol or tobacco related ..... lots of cans bottles and cigarette packages. Draw your own conclusion there.
The other realization was people throw weird stuff out the window. Do I really want to know how some man lost his underwear? Or what was the story of the bed sheet? There are those things that completely defying any explanation. You cannot convince me that someone did not notice that they lost a TV.
But in the end we got as much picked up as we could. We made a difference to the best of our ability. And I guess that is what really matters.
