ONLY TWO PICTURES TODAY. FORGOT MY PHONE!

 

I had five areas to clean today.  The first one only had 115 pieces.  The second one had a lot: 1,453 pieces.  The third 590.  The fourth 710.  And the last place was new, east of Arlington Road.  I saw it was messy when I was at the pizza shop.  I could go back tomorrow and pick up another bag full.  I picked up 1,805 there.

This kitty cat followed me around for a while, hoping I would give it some food, I guess.  She was a bold little thing! 

I saw this mess of garbage beside a dumpster in the parking lot.  Steaks, pork chops, sausages . . . all spoiled, I guess.  Who lets expensive food like that go bad?

I met an interesting man on a bike at Wilbeth & Arlington.  He said, "Who do you work for?"  I said, "Nobody.  I'm a volunteer."  He said, "I'm new in Akron.  I've never seen so much trash and broken glass, and people will kill you for no reason."

I said, "Well, please be careful."

Later, when I was cleaning the new area on the other side of Arlington, here he came again.  He said, "Oh my goodness!  I saw you two hours ago!  Don't get murdered."  

He left, and I was thinking, "The only person I'm afraid of is you!"  Why doesn't he start picking up trash?  Then he wouldn't haven't anything to complain about.

I picked up 4,673 pieces of trash today, and I'm guessing I was out 5 hours.  I had to go back home to change clothes.  I was too hot, and I left my phone on the counter. My timer was going off when I got home. 

Today was a very good day!  I'm only 7,000 pieces away from my goal of one million pieces!
