Musings on anything. |

My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one. |
| Yesterday, I went to the county landfill for the first time. It was a beautiful ride out in the country. The landfill itself was as clean and orderly as could be expected, with recycling sections. There were signs for appliances with and without Freon. I felt very accomplished just finding the place without getting lost and maneuvering my way in and out of the complex. It was unlike other waste depots I've seen in other counties. I had a whole month's worth of trash in my car, including stuff from my garage which would not normally be included. It cost less than one week worth of pickup at my house. It's definitely the cheaper way for me to go, even after adding in gas and wear and tear on the car. I am glad I dropped the place that kept raising the prices. Maybe it was because the day was so beautiful, if cold. Maybe it was I had figured how to save some money. It might have just been something new. It didn't feel like just one more chore. I enjoyed it. It takes so little to make me happy and feel amused. As long as it lasts, I will keep hauling the trash to the west end of the county (I live on the east) and save a few bucks. |

I marvel at the things I'll be able to tell my grandkids about someday. Life is accelerating - or maybe it just feels that way!
I completely sympathize with your desire to declutter. I have more stuff than you can shake a stick at that didn't actually belong to just my wife or myself throughout the house.
