Recycling

I put my recycling bin out for pickup Wed night. On Thur evening, I looked out and it had not been picked up. It was lying on it's side with stuff still in it.

Haven't looked but can guess what happened. Some ghetto neighbor turned it over to look for cans. I don't even mind them taking the cans but leaving it on it's side I do mind. 

So, looks like I have another use for the pellet gun. Talking to people like that won't help. They already know better. The only approach you can use with them is giving them direct threat of immediate consequence. Not my preference but apparently what is required. I won't intentionally hit them but shoot close enough to get their attention. This gun wouldn't pierce skin at point blank range, so shooting the length of the driveway is safe. (I had dart guns stronger than this as a kid.) 

Got a lot of house cleaning done last night. Laundry, dishes, sweeping and mopping. Plus changed the batteries in the dog collars. At least for the pup, I have to do that about every two weeks because he stands right where it beeps but doesn't shock him for long periods.
