Recycling
According to those around me the postal system is up and running again. After more than a month. Puts a real bend in the cord that brings all those curds to my door. You know, the ones we hang along the mantle or used to. Anyhow the first item in the restored mail service seems to be a calendar. For recycling. With the dates carefully marked for the upcoming year on when I should put the bins out to the road. This is an important calendar because I have two different bins and the people in the truck only want to see one. If I bring the wrong one to the road the truck will just go right on by and then I get to wheel that cart back in and tried to remember the next time around what the colour should be. I realize this is binary but I am not good I’m remembering from one week to the next what I brought out the week before. So getting the calendar is a plus. I do have to ask if the people preparing the calendar use recycled materials. There are so many other things that we do on a routine basis that depends upon the actions of others. Can you imagine if our snow all went away because someone decided to take it in a truck to another site rather than recycling it locally. A complete breakdown in that cycle that brings rain I think. And as I watched them cutting down all the broken trees from the last few storms I wonder what happens to that would. Does it get recycled as firewood or are they plowing it into the ground at the bottom of the fields. Locally I think it is the latter. What else gets my goat? For the record I do not own a goat nor do I plan to but there is a species that understands the recycled cycle. We do tend to reuse in this part of the world. If you try watching TV at certain times of the year all you will get is reruns which is technically recycled content. Our library is doing well with a large dependence on books that are given by patrons. Recycles content. And as I listened to the playlists for this time of year on my social media I can point out that most of the songs are recycled. It is been a long time since I heard anything new in the month of December.
