The streets of Jackson are just a wee bit cleaner today thanks to the efforts of our club. Five of us became street walkers for about 2 hours as we pulled trash from alongside West Veterans Highway. (It's so hard not to call it Lakewood-New Egypt Road, you know?) At first, I figured God answered my prayers when it began raining just before we went garbage picking but that Donna, she's a hard task-master, and at 9 a.m. we were out there, picking away.
So what did we find out? The Jackson trashers are a cheap bunch. With one exception I found the beer bottles were all low class stuff and the whiskey bottles were either pint flasks or those little "airline" bottles. I mean, if you're going to drink, drink respectable. Another clue that it wasn't top-shelf? The "bottles" were all plastic, not glass.
Okay, next highway clean up is a Sunday in June, date to be determined.
Thanks Stan, Michael, taskmaster Donna and President Fran.
