Duly Noted

   OK, OK, I can take a hint.  Since today the Waste Hauler positioned my 2 garbage cans at each end of the driveway, like bookends, I infer that's where he wants them, in the driveway.  And I understand why, because I watched him get out of his truck this morning to upright one of the cans, which fell backwards off the robot arm. Then he placed both in the driveway, at opposite ends.   Curses!
    The truck is bigger than the last one, and evidently needs  more room to activate its mechanisms. Or something like that. The problem is that the road itself is so much higher than the ground of our lawn. Last year, I was riding with a friend who pulled in on that side and her car bottomed out on the edge of the highway because there is so much blacktop buildup. I measured it at 8+ inches.  Since the trash pickup is very early in the morning, it's unlikely that I'll back into the cans. As long as I remember to bring them back in.
