ON A SCALE OF 1:10, IT'S A 10 FOR GROSSNESS!

 

I went to the exit ramp from Route 8 to Wilbeth Road, and my friend generates an incredible amount of trash!  I gave him a 40 gallon bag.  I didn't expect him to fill it in a week!  Oh my goodness!

I had to give him my empty bag, and I put his very full bag on my trash can.  

I wasn't sure how I was going to walk a block to my car, but I made it.  What a sight that must have been!

Then I found this mess!  It was so gross!  I almost walked away, but what would happen if I didn't clean it up?  Nobody else would.

And behind the dumpster was all these poop bags!  Oh my goodness again!  

Who throws their poop bags behind the dumpster?  And not in the dumpster?  

Are people completely nuts?

I needed something to make myself feel good, because I was sick to my stomach.  Before and after pictures always help.  "I did this! I cleaned up that horrible mess!"

And then I walked past the football field, the laudromat, the bank, and headed for an intersection I went through that had something very big in the middle of the road.

Cars and motorcycles were swerving to avoid hitting "it."  Nobody knew what "it" was.

I waited for the "Walk" light, and then I crossed Wilbeth Road and scooped it up.  

It was heavier than I thought it would be.  I grabbed a corner and I dragged it to the sidewalk.

It was an air mattress!  Oh my goodness!  It must have fallen off the back of a truck.

When I got to this oil change place, I noticed there was absolutely no trash in the parking lot, thank goodness.  All of a sudden, all the guys came outside and one guy said, "What number are you on, Debbie?"

It surprised me, but then I said, "Almost 800,000."  They obviously knew me.  How fun is that?

It was getting dark, and I was hurrying to my car, and a man came out of his house and said, "Hey, Debbie Miller!  Are you at a million yet?"

Wow!  I have fans!  People who are cheering me on and seeing the difference I'm making in their neighborhood.  

Maybe it started out super gross, but it ended really well.  Two or three showers, and I'll be good as new.
