Au contraire, mon frere - Tricky Dick is okay because he's no longer in office. I was scolded mightily and from on high once long ago when I referred to Ronald Reagan as Ronald Raygun. Perhaps some details of the guidelines have changed since then.

No, the guidelines apply to office holders past and present.

...the guidelines apply to office holders past and present. I'm joining my neighborhood association this evening. Henceforth, I shall be called: mr. california rick  This morning I got a call from the new city that I moved to. One the phone was a lady from the SOLID WASTE DIVSION: Lady: Our driver is outside of your home and he says that there is a large cardboard box sticking out of the blue recycling bin. Nothing can be sticking out of the recycling bin. ============= I go downstairs, open the garage door with the automatic garage door opener and there is a solid waste truck in front of my garage and the driver has a cell phone stuck in his ear. I remove the card board box (fomerly holding the bed frame) and he grabs the bin with his automatic jaws and hoists the can up and shakes the contents into his truck. I point to the long box. The driver gestures with a "I dunno" I step closer to the truck and heave the box hard into the air and it lands into the truck. I gave him a thumbs up!

That's why every Sunday evening if I have a large cardboard box that needs to be recycled I cut it in smaller pieces and stuff it in the bin so that it can be properly closed.

Why on the name of all that's holy would a person do such a thing? Escapes me. I don't understand it myself...but there lots of disturbed people out there.

This time around the fires are not close to my house (a few weeks ago they were) so I'm as safe as I can be from the fires.
The fires did get very close to where my brother lives with his wife and 18 month old twins but it didn't get any closer than 2 miles. I am so glad to know that you and your family are safe from any fires!

How do you Ranters feel about people scrounging around the recycle bins to take items that they can turn in themselves for cash before the recycling truck comes around?
I have mixed feelings about it - due to the economy and all - but for the most part, I feel the city should be making the profit.
What do you Ranters think?

The costs I'm paying for trash (and recyclable) pickup keep increasing. If the money recouped from recycling is used to hold down the fees, then I wouldn't be very happy if I found someone cherry-picking through my trash.

Phil Hoskins, moderator This is correct. Scoutgal AdministratorBummer, dude. Regarding: someone picking through the trash -- ever heard the phrase "dog in the manger?" Good grief, people. You threw it out. If you're going to get picky about it, don't throw it out in the first place. (sorry - headache all morning)
