I usually mow over the leaves to mulch them, but my Lawn Boy seems to have fried the "little black box" that makes spark, so I used my reel mower all year and had to rake and bag.  I was reminded of how much I hate raking, so I'll spend the $100 to buy a new ignition module and get the LB running again.  If for nothing else, fall leaf destruction.

I mulch as much as I can, but it just won't cut it when the big drop comes.

Sounds like maybe we burn about 1 part for every 2 parts that the landfills get...?  Or about 1/3.

Doesn't sound like it is a capacity issue so much as that much of the trash won't 'burn'?  Plus, I'm thinking you have the better way to deal with plastic rather than burning.  How much plastic gets recycled here?

You must be referring to the dictionary check as many English words sound alike and are passed by the spell check.

There are several of these poems etc around.  This is the one I found tonight.

Quote

Ode to My Spell Checker
Original author unknown


Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea.

It plainly marks four my revue miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a quay and type a word and weight for it to say
Weather eye yam wrong oar write.

It shows me strait a weigh as soon as a mist ache is maid.

It nose bee fore two long and eye can put the error rite.

Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it,
I am shore your pleased to no.

Its letter perfect awl the way.
My checker told me sew. "

Not surprising you could decode that.

You (and most of us) need to read it out loud.  It's a lot like many posts on this forum.

Back to the subject on the movement of trash.   

Will the bidder who was approved for a contract to gather the trash be required to post a performance bond.?
All city contracts I have bid on have required a bonding company to post a performance bond.  I still hear the scuttlebutt in the back ground to get the contract then start looking for add-on’s that do not use the bidding process but furnish the profit.  This contract will effect well over 100,000 residents spendable income

I think you need to move to someplace between Guymon and Boise City to be happy.
