Hi je,
Huh?
I would not worry, although we all need to be cautious about locking up, being aware, and being super careful about who we let into our house. — But that is true, no matter where we live.
Personally, I like to see the garbage-eve pickup trucks coming by to salvage items that are out there at the curb. (That has to be what some of those trucks are.)
Also, Mr. Boomer drives a truck and I know for sure he is a good and kind man. Sometimes though, we stay a little late at friends’ get-togethers. Our truck is white and pretty snazzy, if I do say so myself. I will try to remember to roll down my window and do a royal wave if we are rolling by in the wee hours.
But — now I will confess my own anxiety about living here:
You know how we have to put our recycle in those clear bags.
Well, sometimes we have a lot of wine bottles in ours.
I always call those wine bottles in bags to be seen by all — “our garbage of shame.”
Those appear on recycle day if we have had a recent dinner party.
But, I know. I JUST KNOW that a few of those early morning walkers could be judging us. AND, no doubt spreading rumors. Some might be saying we are boozehounds, lushes, wine-Os, whatever.
AND, there could be a few really snooty walkers who are judgmental in other ways and they peer through the clear plastic at our wine choices and sneer. THEN, THEY probably gossip about our plebeian tastes.
Oh, well, I thought about putting a sign on those clear bags full of wine bottles. My sign was going to say, “Do not judge. We had 6 people for dinner last night.”
But I rethought that because I knew it could start rumors that we are cannibals, gluttonous ones even. (sigh)
So now you know my deep rooted fears about life in TV.
Boomer-in-the-Middle.
