They call it "clean up day"
But in reality it is "trade junk with your neighbors day"
Today only, everyone in my little town can put an almost unlimited amount of trash out - including things like tires, mattresses, electronic equipment and the stuff you normally can't put in the garbage.

This means my lovely neighbors have been cleaning up and tossing out.
This means that the curb is filled with all kinds of spiffy things - bicycles, bookcases, couches, filing cabinets, and such.
This means that every idiot with a pickup truck is out hunting for treasure.

Treasure Hunting Idiots with Pickups are watching the curb;
They are watching their junk in the back of the truck;
They are not watching the road

It makes me angry
Keep your kids inside on clean up day - it's danerous out thre.
