Still no change in Candleman's corner, and I'm trying to decide how long I can just leave it to see if there's any change. At least a week, I guess. I did start picking up some other trash, mostly on the way up to Lookout Hill. Someone left a bag of bottles hanging on a fence about 6 INCHES away from a trash can! I can understand you're too damn lazy to pick up your damn trash because there's no trash can nearby, but to carefully pick it up and bring it mere inches away? Is it me or is there no logic or reason left in today's world? As a recently retired teacher, I do blame our education system, which has forced teachers to do nothing but round-the-clock test prep for the last 8 years at least. No substance, no rational thinking, just test prep tips and tricks. It's no wonder students graduate knowing nothing!
And what can explain the large truck tire abandoned in the Parade Grounds? How did it get there? And why? Could no one think of a useful purpose? A nice sand box for the playground? A gorgeous tire swing hanging from one of the fine large trees in the area? Cutting it up to make nice thick rubber soles?
Other than that, it was a chill but bright and sunny day, with 50+ dogs in the Nethermead, and no crack bags on Lookout Hill.
I suspect that the bag of bottles was probably left by someone who was thinking that it would be picked up by one of the people who go through garbage cans collecting bottles for the deposits.
