I’m not sure what was going on this morning, but for nearly my entire commute (through Somerville and Cambridge) it seemed that today must be the world’s garbage pick-up day. I don’t recall noticing trash bags out on the sidewalk waiting to be picked up, nor was I stuck behind garbage trucks for the whole trip (I was behind one for one short block, I must admit), but there was a nasty trash scent throughout my trek to work.<\/p>\n
It’s quite surprising considering it’s been somewhat cool the past few days. And it’s been POURING rain so you’d think that would have washed away most smells. Oh well…I’m safely cocooned in my office now with the air-conditioning blowing and won’t have venture into the olfactory-offending outdoors for another 7 hours or so.<\/p>\n
In other news, my parents arrive this afternoon so my dad can check out the VA hospital tomorrow morning (hoping to get a hearing aid). In fact, they should be there when I get home….hopefully they’ll turn on the air-conditioning so it’s nice and cool when I arrive. I even baked brownies for their visit! <\/p>\n
