Easty Access Parking

Things are much easier with our expanded driveway and new parking pad. Three cars can park side by side now. Each of them can get out of the driveway without moving the other cars. I am loving life now.

I moved the truck out to the street. Momoko's car has been moved into the carport. My Scion xB and the new Honda Fit park side by side in the parking pad. I love that I can come out of the house and get in my Scion xB immediately. I used to have to walk down to the street to get in the car.

Today my brother is coming over to watch some movies with me. I used to have to squeeze two cars parking out on the street. Now I just tell him to pull into the driveway. This is a taste of the high life. Next project is to get us a new shed in the back yard.

Big Trash Can

I woke up pretty early this morning. But I was still the last one of out the house. Kit Kat had just caught her bus to school. As I was heading out to my car, I saw a big trash can in our driveway.

That puzzled me. It is not trash day. I checked and all our big trash cans were up in our carport. Then I noticed that all my neighbors had a trash can in their driveway too. And all the trash cans looked the same.

It was then that I figured it out. These were not trash cans. They were new recycling bins that the county had given to us. They just look like trash cans because of their shape and size. Great. Now Little Kat can start up the massive recycling project he wants to do. Right now I only put old newspapers in our little recycling container.
