I'm reminded of Parr's thought on 4th grade "graduation". 5 yr olds playing sports? Cool. Doing them as an exhibition? Insane.

In #10 the lady made "sun tea" which isn't boiled (or nearly boiled). Even with normal water there's a risk of infection.

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

That, and there are municipalities that actually use untreated water straight from the source for watering and the like to save money.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Exactly. It's a compounded joke. Probably my favorite of the series, actually.

Indiana... oh my. I can only imagine the religious zealots you have to deal with regularly. Is evolution still "too controversial" for some?

So what you are saying is an Adam Sandler movie scarred you from enjoying meatballs? Makes sense.

I know I'm interested in the wrong bit here but did service quality change/was the company a legitimate improvement?

10 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

Service remains the same, but the cost went down. So in the end it was worth it.

Except -- of course -- to the new company's garbage men, who are probably paid less. How *do* you think that "the cost went down"?

Wages mean very little. The town took8 people off its health care bills. Plus no more truck maintenance. Savings of ~ $7 million in 5 years.
