Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
6/3: almost curbside
When we moved into this house 3 years ago we knew that recycling would require more effort. Outside the city limits we don't have curbside recycling pick-ups, so we've gotten into the habit of saving our recyclables and driving them to the main recycling site periodically. Now the county is piloting a recycling program that will include us. The truck can't turn around on the ridge, so we have to leave our recycling in bags at the bottom of the hill early on Thursday mornings, but it's easier than going to the big drop-off place every few weeks. Chris and I just took this week's recyclables down, and by the time I head to work, it should all be picked up, ready to begin its journey into Something Else.
My good thing is that I'm sitting here and the scent of jasmine is overwhelming. Steve planted a sprig some years ago and it covers the front entryway. It is so incredibly pungent!!!
