So I am the temporary COO of my castle and FYI, in my fair city every other Friday is paper and glass recycling day, i.e. the trashman picks up your paper and glass.
As a rule, fwiw, fyi, I do not put out paper recycling the night before because what if it rains, iykwim. Anyhoo, the last two days have been sunshine as far as the eye can see and the majestic eagle can fly, so, last night around 10 as I swilled my second glass of a pleasant sangiovese, watching the sunset over the mountains from deck, I made the executive decision that it was safe to put the recycling out that night. In advance. IYKWIM.
Wouldn't you know it, torrential downstorms hit around 1 AM last night.
Oh the humanity.

Too funny!!! LOL!
Of course, you know what would have happened if you had decided to not take the paper out last night . . . . Yup, that's right - clear skies all night long! AND, you would have overslept and missed the recycling. hahahahahaha Sometimes it seems like you just can't win! In fact, this rule has been codified in the statute books under the name of some Irish chap who, I believe, also has a beer to his name.
