Wanted: tinfoil hat

[cjsmith]

This morning I heard garbage trucks on my street, and I realized that yet again I had forgotten to put out the trash and recycling bins. I raced to do it; maybe I was early enough for one or the other.

Every week I think "I'll remember next week" and every week, it seems, I forget. I'll think of it Wednesday morning, but forget when I get home from work. It's as if my mind goes into a zombie pit of uselessness every Wednesday night.

I bet that's when the aliens beam their mind control rays over southern Sunnyvale. Now that I know what time they do it, I have a better chance of protecting myself.

sympathy, and suggestion

We have an on-line calendar, and one of the features is that we can tell it to e-mail us with reminders of things. So we had it set for a while to remind us to put out the garbage. Otherwise, I was always bolting out of bed at 4am in my pajamas when I heard the first trucks roll by.

Bwa haa! I shouldn't laugh, but that image tickled my funnybone.

I don't hear the trucks until I'm out of the back bedroom. By then I'm too late for the regular garbage, but I can do the recycling. That fills up fastest anyway :)
