Near-Miss Robot Crisis
Our regular trash pick-up days are Wednesday and Saturday. Those are the mornings when the truck comes and its robot arm dumps our city-issued trash receptacle into its yawning maw. Since Wednesday was the Fourth, there was, of course, no trash pick-up. We put the dumpster out on Thursday, as that's how such things usually work, but the truck didn't come on Thursday or on Friday, either. When, by Saturday afternoon, the trash still had not been picked up, Lone Star Pa said he hoped the robots had not revolted and taken over Solid Waste. But they came and picked up the trash in the evening so everything's okay...we think.

Wow! Not only do we not have robots, they only come once a week here (recycling is every other week). But the guy in the truck *calls* you if you forget to put out the trash and will pass by again on the way back down the street and pick it up. It floors me every time.
I wonder if the robots have future plans for invading VT. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
Be careful.
