Runaway inflation?
What do you call it when a class ring with a half ounce of gold, which sold for $14 dollars, is valued at $750 dollars on today’s market? The 79 cent gallon of milk is priced at $3.45? The Ford auto sold for $2300 dollars now is priced at $23000 dollars? GMC pickup sold for $1400 dollars now priced at $18000 dollars? Gallon of gasoline sold for 19 cents a gallon now $3.19? Minimum wage was 25 cents an hour. Run away inflation? We are the world greatest debtor as the values on the foreign exchanges devalue the dollar. What would one call it other than reverse economy?

Trash pickup came a bit later this time. About 1PM.
Same old scary truck but they took a bunch of boxes I put out.
I've seen a CNG truck close to my home. It looks much less likely to kill groups of children on a playground from being a runaway with no brakes.

Smaller Recycle Carts for Tulsa? http://kwgs.com/post/smaller-recycle-carts-tulsaSmaller recycling carts could soon be in Tulsa’s future. The Tulsa Trash Board had ordered huge recycling carts, but is now looking to use, much smaller, 48-gallon carts.
Board member and City Councilor David Patrick likes the idea.
Patrick: "This is a really good compromise to the size of the recycling cart and making that available to the public."
It is not a done deal. The city legal department needs to review any contract change as well as the NewSolutions Trash Service. However, the city's Eric Lee says the board can move forward.
Lee: "I would always listen to counsel first before proceeding. However , if the intent is to 'let's put our order into queue' to give you enough time to, maybe, wait until legal responds and/or hear from NewSolutions."
Tulsa's new trash service begins on Monday.

My recycle cart is big enough to live in. I would need to host a drunken party every night of the week to get close to filling it up. And while that sounds tempting (getting drunk and living in the cart) my liver and back would not respond well.

Saw this as well. A little late after we talked about it. But, I am finding that mine now is more than half full after a week with the items added to the list. So for now, I'm happy with the larger cart.

Since cardboard is accepted, I might need to keep the Titanic for recycling.

Southie, did you see the article in the Sunday World Scene section about recycling? It had a pretty extensive list of what was and was not acceptable. I still have it if you need it.

I got the new and improved list in the mail, thanks. While understanding that I have to put my left foot in and then take my left foot out, I was surprised that it was unnecessary to shake it all about.

I've had mine for two weeks, filled my recycling carts both pickup times. I say that if you get a smaller cart, you pay $1 more and $2 more for no cart... since you obviously aren't trying hard enough.
