Stupid Piece of Blog

All the years of apartment life, people would say that "garbage is included."  I never perceived the full magnitude of the service of taking away my garbage until I became a homeowner.  I've always had nice big community dumpsters.  Now, I've got a tiny trash bin, and I need to budget the weekly garbage generation.  This past week, we bought more than we normally would.  Several large pieces of styrofoam.  They waste a lot of space in the trash can, so I'm taking one or two pieces a day into the office where I dump them gradually.
