BFI v. Aspen

I think, perhaps, come Thursday morning, which is garbage day in our neighborhood, it has been underestimated how much you can tell about a family by what sits at the end of their driveway, or maybe never estimated at all. For instance, the family that lives behind us, has two giant rolling garbage cans, both filled so the cover is at nearly a 180 with the body, and a recycling display that often spans over the yard. They have seven kids. Then there's the family that lives a few blocks down that I don't know, but judging by the giant Huggies box, well you do the math. There's the occasional driveway that just has one bucket-style can who's lid is perfectly fitting, and not at all bulging, with 1, perfectly organized by material, green recycling bin next to it--Their the elderly couples. Then there's the occasional family that still has a Bush '04 sign in their window, and, well, they don't have any recycling bins.
