Recycling Of Waste

When we moved into out new area we had to get garbage service. The charge $16 month to pice all your yard wast and up to 10extra bag as well. The bill quarterly, so it is about 48$ every 3 months. Not to bad in my opinion,

Now on the Recycling issue. When we have lived in other areas around the country, we have dnoe the program. SO i figured i should check that service out here. The want $6 a month to pick up the Recycle Bin. Where they then take it and seperate it and sell it to reclamation centers for money. WE bought the stuff at a store, so it is OUR stuff. IF we choose to recycle, we should not have to pay for them to pick it up, We should get a credit for what we turn in. Why do we have to pay them to take it away, stuff that would have been thrown away anyway! What a Crock!@ We p[ay them to take refuse in a box thy provide so they can seperate and make money by selling it to some other facility. What a good game they have going!!

What do you think of this as i am sure that many of you who have to pay to "help the environment" in this manner? They should pay us a fee based on hoe much material er recycle that they pick up. I know some cities have the program that are free pickup of recycled materials, i would do that. Not Here! Wast Management (Wasted Management) as i have heard it called, charges us to make more money for them. Not a good idea.

SO, just put all the garbage into one bag and let them separate it out at their offices where they have to employ someone to do what we used to do and paid them for the privileged to do it. IT is just wrong!!

Good Place To Purchase Books!

I know that many of you read books and novels from many of the big name authors.  I like as much as any to read them as well.  If you go to Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, or even Wall-Mart you can pick them up in hardcover for a premium price.  If you wait for a little bit, you might be able to get them at your local Goodwill outlet.  We went there and have bought several books for a little money. They price hardcover books at $3 and paperbacks at $1!  I purchased a coffee table book that retails for well over $60 at the local goodwill for $3!  They are all donated to the stores and they resell them for profit to help the needy. We have found all the big name authors and the books are in good condition; most of the at least.

 

I read a book by Brad Meltzer about 6 months ago called “The Book Of Fate” that I purchased at Wall-Mart.  I found his first book  “The Tenth Justice” and I got it for $3!  It is in excellent shape and in hardcover.  So if you are looking for some bargain priced books, Goodwill is a great place to go look and it is for a good cause.

What is up?

Not much here. I just took care of the yard. We have a small chance of rain today and i will be at work all weekend long so i will not get a chance to do it then. We can use the rain here, it is very dry and we have not received any substantial rain in over a month. The lake is getting very low again. I am sore from working out this week. I got in over 15 miles this weekend on the bike and i was able to work out yesterday at the gym. I might go tonight as i will not make it back until Monday. Well, i need to finish stuff around the house.

Laters for now...

P.S. If you like good Progressive Trance, check out this track by Paul Van Dyk Feat. Wayne Jacks - The Other Side [Original Mix] I do not know how this one got past me as it TOTALY ROCKS OUT!! The male vocals are very good and a nice change from all fo the female vocals that most prog trance has in them. It kind of remindes me of Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald with the guitar and chord progressions; perhaps a distant shadow of that monumental track from the 1970s...

Here are the lyrics:
When this broken through
I will comfort you
When I wake my tongue is tied
Daylight brings the great divide
Weeping like the rain
Whispering your name
Long to be reunified
Believe the sun will rise
When I reach the light
I will see you on the other side
I'm sure the sun will shine
When I reach the light
I will see you on the other side
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes See you on the other side
When I close my eyes See you on the other side
When I close my eyes See you on the other side
When I close my eyes Speeding City lights
Leave me weak tonight
Oh I miss your warmth inside
Stars came out to shine
Across the waterline
I can feel you on the other side
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes and I reach the light
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes and I reach the light
See you on the other side
When I closed my eyes

The Blog...

I have been into pictures more lately than I have been into posting simply because I have not found much that is interesting to me to post about. I like to do the picture thing with my cam phone because it is just so easy and it also takes very good pics. I have read some people's reviews of the phone/cam and I just don’t agree with them on the picture quality.

I am just in a holding pattern until we figure out when we will be going to St. Louis. It really sucks because I don’t know what kind of job to look for and even when we will be there to do this so it is just pointless to do that at the moment.

I have also slacked off of riding and working out lately. It is just hard to get back into it when you stop. I rode this weekend and we got in like 7 miles. I wanted to go on Sunday morning, but my right leg/hip has been hurting ever since I slipped in the pool while we were on vaca at OBX. I went to the chiropractor last week for the back hurting from this and that worked, but my right leg where it joins the hip hurts intermittently and I did not ride Sunday because of this. It is hurting me tonight and I do not know why as all I did today was sleep.

I am always in a constant search for content and readership on my blog. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to email me. What bothers me is that I do not get a lot of comments from people that "view" this site. I wish that I would get more. So if anyone is out there in cyberspace, please feel free to drop me a line or to or a comment.

Thank you for your patronage.

Nothing to post about...

Well folks, at this very moment, i have nothing to post about. I read the news and it is just the same crap every day, murder, car wrecks, war, oil prices...ect ect. It is going to be very hot here today. They say around 102 degrees! That is really hot and with the lack of rain, the grass just burns up. We have a sprinkler system at our house. I like to water early in the morning and late at night so as to not burn the grass up. I see other people in our neighborhood watering their lawns like at 3.00pm What a bunch of dumbasses!! That is the hottest part of the day and it will burn the lawn up. The water acts like a magnifying glass with the sun. People, Water Late at night or Early in the Morning, NOT during the day. The other day, on the news, they reported the highest water usage in Chesterfield County ever. It was something like 65million gallons all due to us South west yuppies needing to water our lawns.

I am reading Bush at War by Bob Woodward. It is a very good book I am on chapter 8 at the moment. I just wonder how he got all the information in the book? It talks about the days before September 11 and in chronologically the days after that with exact quotes and Bush’s locations and Top Secret document titles. How did he get the information? I seams to me that some of this should be classified. Just my thoughts so far. I hope to be able to finish it soon and start on the next one. I guess sometimes that it is nice to be able to ramble on about nothing specific.

I got an invite to my fraternity’s reunion this year in Texas. The frat is called Phi Boots Roota. It is a service frat for the Drum Line at SFA. It was very fun to be in for 3 years while I attended SFA from 1989-1992. If I am settled I would like to go to it, but I also have my brother’s bachelor party and wedding to go to in November. The reunion is in October, might be too close for me to pull off.

I am going to the gym this morning when I get off work to go and do my back and cardio while my daughter and her friend do yoga. I am going to be one tired puppy after I get home…

That is all for now.
