The lady neighbor across the street (has never spoken to me) comes outside with several tiny plastic bags of household garbage. She sets them out on the ground in the street in front of her apartment. She puts some of it in a tiny plastic bin with the overflow directly on the ground (see little black basket in first photo). At the same time, two dogs follow her out of the yard onto the street. She goes back inside, closing the gate, and effectively locking the dogs outside to roam freely anywhere they damn well please.
Five minutes later, one the dogs rips open a bag on the ground, extracts another small bag, and runs off with it to another part of the neighborhood where it will remain to trash up the neighborhood some more, and the trash pickup truck personnel will never be the wiser.
In the meantime, myself and my immediate next door neighbor have placed our trash in barrels (my barrel is a metal 55 gallon drum and the neighbor has a smaller plastic red barrel (see second photo). Now these barrels are in plain view of the stupid lady neighbor, who should have been able to figure out by now that garbage left in the street is dispersed by dogs on the street and there is a very simple solution staring her right in the face. But no, week after week, and literally year after year, the same old scene takes place.
So I feel very generous today and empty out some molasses from a second 55 gallon drum I have in the yard (previously used to de-rust a 340 cylinder block). I'm going to lend it the dumbass neighbor until she can find a suitable container for herself. This makes me ask myself, "Are dogs more intelligent than our fellow humans?" To be continued.
