Driving home from Schroeder, I stopped at the Intersection of the
Redwoods; picked up the week’s accumulated litter on both sides of Redwood
Avenue where people wait for the light; worked toward Redwood Highway to the
guardrail; and picked up a pile of broken auto glass behind the light
pole. I then pulled out my blower, and
blew off as much gravel from the roadway into the triangle as I could with the
power available in my batteries.
Here’s betting that, next week, the butts will at least be thrown
farther off the road, into the gravel.
Maybe I’ll start sweeping it up and dumping it in the ditch across the
road next week.
My next project of the day was picking up litter on the east side
of the 6th Street Caveman Bridge, starting at the nearest corner,
preparatory to cleaning it. I was
partway down the bridge from Voorhies when I got called away to give someone a
ride home from across the river. By the
time I got home, I had decided that the block bounded by 6th, Voorhies,
7th, and Bridge was driving me nuts with the amount of litter on it,
and the cleaning of the Caveman Bridge could wait until next Monday.
I had to go babysit by 4:30, but I learned that my grandson had
cleaned his room early on the hope that I would take him for a walk, picking up
trash. So I went over there about an
hour early and cleaned with him along N Street for a while before his mama went
to work.
