The Garbage Trucks Are Here!

The garbage trucks are here! The news flew through the neighborhood as soon as they pulled into the entrance. My next door neighbor, Kathy, called to tell me they were here and everyone came out of their homes to watch. You would think we had nothing better to do. Some of us even pulled up lawn chairs to watch the debris dissappear. We remarked that it was a lot like a parade. Four HUGE trucks and a big crane-thingy that bites the trash and loads it.

Unfortunately, an SUV was parked in the street in front of the large debris pile across the street and they were unable to pick it up. The garbage haulers seemed friendly enough though, and assured us that they would try to get it tomorrow. They will be in the neighborhood for several days picking it all up.
