Litter in the hood
Yesterday I took the opportunity to clean my yard and two other front yards in my neighborhood. I cleaned my neighbor who broke her hip’s front yard and also the older couple who is in Florida’s front yard. I always find such interesting “treasures” when cleaning our yard. We have a privacy fence in our backyard that has alleys running along two sides of it. I am always amazed that the shit stains who are too lazy to use a trash can can always seem to find the energy to chuck their trash over my fence and into our yard. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the basketballs and the samari sword- complete with case we have acquired. Here are a sampling of the treasures I found yesterday:
Condom wrapper (Ew!!!)
1/2 eaten cobb of corn (not the dried stuff for squirrels-fresh!)
sling shot
Valentine’s I love you balloon (I would have rather not had to pick it up but it is the thought that counts!)
toothbrush (once again Ew!!)
doorbell (one that goes on your house not the getto kind)
receipt for 15 Oscar Mayer Lunchables all purchased with link card
beer can (only 1!!!)
Not all these are from the backyard. The cobb of corn was from my front yard and the condom wrapper and the receipt were from the alley. The city wide clean up is coming up in April and our neighborhood plans to participate. Just imagine the treasures we’ll find then!!
Such fun! When the weather breaks, I usually make a weekly trip around the block to look for “treasures”. It gets very frustrating, but I don’t like looking at the crap.
I just have visions of your “finds” as remnants of a Valentine’s Day gone bad. Dude brushes teeth and buys a balloon in the hopes of getting lucky (hence the condom). He showed up at the door, rang the bell and she wouldn’t answer. After picking up a six pack and drinking one of the beers, he steals the doorbell and knocks the balloon out with the slingshot. He was gonna take her out to supper but went with the lunchables instead.
You can buy lunchables with a LINK card? Wow.
Ms. PH, if you knew all the things bought with a LINK card you would be surprised!
You can buy any packaged food or beverage with a LINK card.
