I generate a lot of cardboard, so I don't pay for weekly pickup.
I hit the "dump" about once a month.
The local squirrels made a mess of the plastic cans, which are all maybe 15 or more years old,
so I bought the steel cans.
The local fauna have "exploded" in recent years.
There had always been a few deer living in the neighborhood, most homes are on 1 acre plus lots,
but then the squirrels, elk, and now the bear moved in.
40 years ago, when there was a lot of undeveloped ground, sightings were rare;
now that its all "built up", seeing deer and elk is pretty common.
That was the first time I've ever had the trash cans knocked over, I would have assumed it was the
neighborhood dogs without the ring.
My hunting days are long gone,
so he's safe from me at least.
