I saw a man stealing a trash can yesterday!

I have mainly lived in larger cities and have now been in Oak Ridge, TN for just over a year. Now people around here say Oak Ridge is not a small town and in comparison to the surrounding towns they are right.

I am still getting used to the small "tiffs" at the stop signs or who is going to let who go first. No, you go. No, you go. At Wal-Mart I find a lot of people making eye contact and smiling. My neighbors even wave!

Enjoying my morning coffee, I saw a man walking up our hill of a street pulling a trash can. I called to my fiance to point out a man is walking up the street with someone's trash can! He laughed.

After his laughter subsided, he proceeded to inform me that is why we pay $5.00 per month extra on our utility bill. Our trash men carry a trash can door to door to pick up the trash then bring it out to the truck.

I have been here over a year now and it never actually registered that I have never seen a trash can on the side of the road!!!

Talking about curb appeal!
