 Whip started barking this morning at the front door.  Can mean there is a visitor or that a rabbit is taunting her by chewing grass in the front lawn.  This time it was a visitor.  "Hi Sue."  he says.  Unfortunately, I hadn't a clue who he was until he pulled a garbage bin out of the back of his van.  Oh... my new garbage pickup company!  If you remember, Waste Management announced they wouldn't pick up in the area after April 20th.  Then they picked up their bins on April 13th.  To add insult to injury I think they still owe me for another month of pickup.  Just happy to be shed of them.  The new garbage pickup rep was pretty upbeat and said they were signing on more customers at a rate of at least three a week.  He also understood why many of us were so disgusted w/ Waste Management and the other pickup company in the area 'Republic'.  He said, "Garrett was paying $200 and the guy that takes care of dogs was paying just over $50 for the same service."   My new garbage pickup day is Monday - same as before so I should be able to remember it.  His service costs a few dollars more per quarter than what I was paying but is well worth it to me if cuts out the constant cost escalations and add-on's of his competition.  I'm hoping this new business makes a  go of it.
