Truckin' Along

I'm currently riding in a large garbage truck. It's cramped, loud, bumpy, and warm inside (the heater is at full blast because the driver is freezing from his trips bringing bins to the truck's lift). If the weather was better I could get out and help, but I've been instructed to stay put -- "as you'd probably just slow me down." It has started snowing again, and we just came from the dump where we got rid of about $671 weight-worth of garbage. Because of the winter storms we have to collect recycling today as well, so another trip through the snowy streets of our section of Shoreline.
