"Like a circle in a circle....

or a wheel within a wheel...”

Ev’ry litter bit helps.....We been sending our recyclables to the County....we wash ‘em out, make sure there’s no food items in there & tho’t we were doing our part.....
The last time (a few years back) I took our recyclables back to a pickup center, I got about $.67 for my trouble ‘n decided I’d let the County have it...what the heck? I pay Sac County fifty-some bucks ev’ry couple months to pick up my trash & recyclables......Now I find out that other people turn their can’s ‘n plastic bottles in for anywhere from seventy to a hundred fifty bucks....who knew they pay a nickel for a plastic bottle.....well, I knew that I paid a deposit but it was ‘way too much trouble to try ‘n collect from the stores......
It’s hard to not believe in recycling when you’re faced with it in so many ways t’day.....And it makes so much sense. Landfills c’n be messy places...brother John reminded me (‘n he’s still pissed) about a place called Buck Hollow.....we used to camp there when we were kids....it’s just up the hollow from South Portsmouth School which all of us attended in our way back when time....well, Buck Hollow wuz turned into a landfill for Portsmouth garbage.....John recalled how he used to play behind the school and how he wuz able to drink from the springs that fed the creek that ran out of the hollow....
groundwater’s gotta be contaminated now...Heck! I wonder with all the people in the world throwing their garbage wherever, is there any place left where a kid c’n drink from a free-flowing spring? I’m sure that there are places in the high country where people don’t go that the water is fit to drink but that ain’t the same thing at all......
We keep recycling politicians even tho' we ain't thrilled with the jobs that they're doin'.....The American Presidency, called the most powerful job in the world....ain't. I mean, they're purty limited in what they c'n do....'n it seems Congress ain't limited enuff.....I wonder, when nobody will 'fess up to liking any of our legislators, State or Fed, how do they keep getting elected? T'is a puzzlement.
In my way back when time, politics only came around ever’ four years or so.....I mean, you c’d count on the back roads of Greenup County getting a fresh coat of blacktop courtesy of the local pol who needed to keep their job.....the only thing that has seemed to change is now it’s purty much all the time ‘stead of every four years...’n frankly, ev’ry four years wuz enuff......
