I generally put the garbage on the edge of my driveway, the recyclables on the property line, about six feet apart...and the horticulture, for which you can still use your old cans or just put your palm fronds on the ground, somewhere in between.

Maybe this'd be better in Random Musings...

Actually, for some reason, I can't get to the last (55th) page of Random Musings. Tried from the forum page, tried from Page 54, tried from Page One. Did we finally "fill it till it won't fill no more?"

Could it be off the page so that you need to scroll horizontally to see the link? Or are you saying the link doesn't work, Robert?

Nah, I could find the link all the time, it just wouldn't load. And it worked a minute ago (see post there for comments).

You can cross "computer troubleshooter" off the list of jobs I can handle...

I had a semiserious thought about possible jobs...I'm sure I've put this up somewhere 'round here, somewhere before, but it's applicable...

In my early twenties, I took up the guitar, all on my own, learning enough to pick a little and chord around several favorite songs. (I never got that good.) But I couldn't sing and play at the same time, and I thought that was a "given" for playing as a career---at least what I had in mind.

A few years ago, I ran across a quote from John Lennon in one of the countless Beatles books (I pick up nearly every one). He, more or less, stated that after he took up the guitar, it was some two years before he could play and sing without thinking about either.

If I had known that---if I had realized playing and singing at the same time could be learned, rather than something you were born with---I might have pursued music as a career.

I have wanted to be a submarine captain since I was about eleven years old. "The Hunt for Red October" is one of my favorite movies.
