Wednesday is the night I put the garbage out front at the end of my driveway for usual early Thursday morning pickup. However, it was very windy and I decided not to put the recyclable bin out because it is filled with a lot of papers, which last year was tipped over by the wind and papers were strewn all over the property.
I did put the garbage bin out in late afternoon, unobstructing because of my car-less driveway. Soon after, I noticed the bin had blown over, and was lying sideways. I thought of going out and standing it back up, but then I decided to wait and see. I keep hearing of all the helpful acts directed toward senior citizens (old people.) Such kind caring helpers, often pictured for their humanitarianism. I know there is a constant flow of traffic past my house, including rural neighbors and acquaintances. Who might stop by in the daylight hours and stand the bin up. We all know for present refuse pickup, that if the robot arm cannot reach out and make contact with the bin, the bin will have to wait for another day. No human ever leaves the truck.
As the daylight waned, I looked out and saw the container, lifeless, still lying on the ground.I guess no one cares.
