A few years back they put a one bag per household limit on garbage and
you have to buy special tags for a buck apiece for excess. It didn't
take long before the low lifes started dumping them along the rural
roads around here. Someone tossed on into the ditch in front of our
house. Lucky for me it was a clear plastic bag and I saw the mail
envelopes inside and their address was in a couple of them. I was going
into town that night for something so I took their garbage and tossed it
back onto their lawn where it belong.
