Years ago, there was a big garbage collector's strike in New York City, and as you can imagine in a city of that size, mountains of smelly garbage swarming with flies lined the streets. So, he and a friend put the garbage from their apartment, loaded it into a big box, wrapped it, and tied it with a big fancy bow. Then they left it in their car, their unlocked car. Didn't take long at all for their package to disappear... and to become someone else's problem.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-37137865493717182572012-07-23T19:22:04.232+00:002012-07-23T19:22:04.232+00:00The lads that collect my recycling seem pleasant e...The lads that collect my recycling seem pleasant enough, I am under Flintshire also.
