Those of you (Dave, Scott and Steve) who understand the importance surrounding the twice weekly pick up off garbage in our neighborhood will appreciate the significance of this posting. Since our road has been paved, the Basurero arrive on our street at 5 am each Wednesday and Saturday. Garbage cans are not part of the Basura culture so bags of refuse must be left on the street for collection as speed is an integral aspect of the morning rounds. As there are dogs roaming the streets, this early pick up poses some serious logistical problems. Dare one leave the bags overnight, risking strewn coffee grounds, fruit rinds and the like as a consequence of canine foraging, or does one, like most have opted in to do, awaken early to greet the truck with bags in arms aplenty? A genuine neighbourhood conundrum. With the artistic imagination of Ricardo, this seemingly unresolvable dilemma has been solved: By using the Mutlti-Versatile Zap Line and Hook Hung on the Carport Gate Bar Technique®, the garbage is placed on the hook at a mathematically determined height (taking into account the maximum vertical drop due to weight and atmospheric conditions) the evening before without fear of it becoming food for Lobo and Rover.
I awoke early this morning (4:45 am) to ensure that the invention had been calibrated precisely with the correct physics to hold the weight of the bag weight overnight to receive the Basurer Municipilidad seal and nod of approval.
With bated breath, I counted the minutes, then seconds; the truck descended the hill, paused in front of the house; the Basurero jumped like an Olympic gymnast off the back of the truck, lifted the bags off the hook, and, in response to my anxious query, "¿Está Bien", nodded, "Si, Senor". An extra hours sleep each Wednesday and Saturday.
We have World Copyrighted for Free Use this technological advance in the sincere hope that it will improve the sleep patterns of each of our vicenos.
Bravo!!!!!
