This evening a friend and neighbor and I discussed the pile of phone books left at this facility overnight. My friend said nearly every day he picks up the many phone books and takes them home where he places them in his trash. He also pointed out that he personally had posted a very obvious sign asking people to put their old phone books in the normal trash and please do not leave them at the postal station. Residents had left the old books right under the sign. Crazy huh ???
Warren, you do realize that these are the same residents that cannot navigate roundabouts, that cannot park within the lines of a parking spot, that drive drunk, that save seats at the squares, that cannot pick up dog poop, that cannot fix divots or ball marks, that don't stop at stop signs, that will praise Law Enforcement Officers (until they get a ticket), etc., etc., etc....
