4th January 2017 - Rubbish and Ruminating

Thought for the day:"I would be more inclined to grow up - if I could see that it had worked out for everyone else"

Managed to get to the dump today - that may not seem like a great achievement to you - but I dutifully bagged up my rubbish as there would be limited collection in the festive season and put them in the back of my mother's car and popped up to the dump on New Year's Eve morning - to find that the dump was closed...   Naturally it remained shut over the bank holidays - but I had to drive around and most of the bags were recycling and clean - most but not all!!

Yesterday, it seemed a good opportunity to finally get rid of the stuff and obviously everyone else decided the same as the queue stretched to Tescos. I decided to go for a swim instead of waiting - the over 60's free pool entrance is only for an hour!

today - the queue was there - bit not as bad - so I was patient ..   Cleared the rubbish - levelled up !

Meanwhile some random thoughts..

I am 62 years old and I have so many unanswered questions!!!!
I still haven't found out who let the Dogs Out...
where's the beef...
how to get to Sesame Street...
why Dora doesn't just use Google Maps...
Why do all flavors of fruit loops taste exactly the same,
or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop......
why eggs are packaged in a flimsy paper carton, but batteries are secured in plastic that's tough as nails, yet light bulbs too are in a flimsy carton... 
Ever buy scissors? You need scissors to cut into the packaging of scissors... 
I still don't understand why there is Braille on drive up ATM's 
or why "abbreviated" is such a long word; 
or why is there a D in 'fridge' but not in refrigerator... 
why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons...
why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections... 
and, why do you have to "put your two cents in" but it's only a "penny for your thoughts" where's that extra penny going... 
why do The Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune... 
why did you just try to sing those two previous songs...
and just what is Victoria's secret? ....
and what would you do for a Klondike bar and you know as soon as you bite into it it falls apart...
and Why do we drive on Parkways and park on Driveways? 

I was going to write about apathy - but I couldn't be bothered..
Cheers!
