Uh, oh, it's Tidy Town Day - Watch out for Junky Monkeys!

The trash company is picking up large trash items in eastern Shawnee today. Folks have been putting out old couches, tables, lawn furniture, beds, lawn mowers - you name it, they're tossing it.

It's kind of sad, really. Look at all this crap that is going to be tossed in the landfill most likely. Of course, there are those folks out there who make this a sport. Look at this truck.

Seriously? You're going to drive that thing down the road?

I'm sure that man is headed to the scrap yard to make big money off some of that crap. I should have looked at some of the license plates as people were driving down the road. I'm sure they come in from surrounding counties - Shawnee is in Johnson County, after all, so people probably think they're going to find some great junk. This is the day of the year that JoCo becomes more like Arkansas.

We helped Mom put that junk out by the street last night. In the span of an hour or so, probably five different cars, trucks and vans stopped to dig through it.


Anybody need a combination turntable/eight-track player? If the trash company hasn't been by yet, I know where you can get a great deal on one...
