    It was easy to complete the trash pick up today thanks to crows and cats who got into the resident's trash overnight waiting for the trash pick up this morning.

    Went to breakfast at a favorite restaurant today.  I always take food home.  I took my own container instead of using their Styrofoam container that they provide.  I noticed this particular restaurant isn't using plastic straws.  It was made of cardboard.
