Sorry for the problems with this entry. To tell the truth I am kind of mad. It was there when I wrote it but from time to time gamedesire glitches like that if it happens when I try to post I usually delete that blog but for what ever reason this one was there and gamedesire glitched it out of existence. It is sad too cause I thought this one was a pretty good one I will try to reconstruct it for you from memory, but it will probably not be as good as the first one. I wrote it minutes after it came to mind/
I was setting on my porch enjoying the sun last Monday afternoon, and I noticed something most of us do not not notice partly because it usually takes place before we are out of bed. It was the garbage men picking up the garbage. As I sat there and watched them working like a well oiled machine they cleared this whole road in about 20 minutes. I myself had not given much thought to the men that pick up our trash and take it away no matter the weather they are out there helping to keep our neighborhoods clean and save. My brother worked for them about 35 years ago before he got married and got a job as a trucker out of state.
I sat there watching these men slinging those big cans up into the back of the truck with great accuracy rarely dropping anything onto the road, and picking it up quickly if they did drop something I thought how we all overlook them. When is the last time you thought about these sanitation workers that gather up and take away the tons of garbage we make each year. Have you ever said hi to one of them or even given them a smile? I doubt there are many that can say they have. We ignore them or look past them like they are not there if we do see them. Do you realize without these dedicated workers we would be buried in trash and rats? I think we all need to take a minute and think about these overlooked workers that keep our country clean. We should all think about giving them a tip at Christmas. Think about it a minute would you get up at the crack of dawn (or before some pick up in the middle of the night) so you could run around handling other peoples garbage and sometimes it includes poop from dogs, cats, and babies? I do not think we appreciate these garbage workers enough. Watch them work sometime, and ask yourself if you would be strong enough to do their job. Let's all remember the overlooked people that keep our neighborhoods from stinking beyond belief the sanitation workers that do the dirty work most will not do and who get so little praise for a job well done.
