Ahhh… Dennis Miller. Jumping on the Fox News Bandwagon a bit late. He’s been living at the obscure edge of “funny” for the last 20 years. Didn’t he used to make fun of politicians on Weekend Update on SNL? And now he’ll be coddling their balls on Fox News. I’d say something about how the mighty have fallen, but Dennis Miller hasn’t been worth listening to since…. well…. ever.
So yeah, over the past few weeks, Anne & I have been doing some hardcore maintenance to our place. The sidewalk outside is a wreck. It’s some lovely brick laid out there, but our landlord has let it get completely overrun with grass for what looks like the last 5-10 years unchecked. So we went out and bought a scraper tool and some weed killer and got to work.
Anne did a TON of it one afternoon, and I helped her wrap it up. I went out the other day and did some more and we’ve filled plenty of yard-waste bags with grass and drit. It’s sort of annoying because there’s so much drit covering the bricks. Takes forever to sweep up all that drit.
So anyway, we fill the waste bags and put them near our door to keep them out of the rain until pickup day (Tuesday). Last night we figured it was time to move the bags out to the curb to be picked up and the drit, which was a little damp, had weakened the bags. When we lifted… they broke. So we had to re-load all of the grass and drit into new yard waste bags and finally got them out to the curb.
So today for lunch we walked home to find only one of our bags taken away and a note attached to one of the others informing us why they could not be taken.
God damn it. What are we going to do with all of this drit?
