Default Thankless Task Deserves A Thank You

Recently I've noticed a man and a woman, no clue who they are, walking along the multi-modal path on the east side of Morse south of the Hadley gate and also along Colony Blvd in front of Colony Rec Ctr. They were picking up trash. Cups, plastic bottles, papers, golf towels.... I'm sure we've all done our part to keep our areas clean but to see these folks "voluntarily" pick up debris....well if you see someone tell them thank you. The cleanliness of TV was the first thing my wife and I noticed and to keep it pristine is a plus.

I so agree F16.

Had you also heard about the K9-Lovers? They pick up after the folks who don't carry plastic bags when they walk their dogs.

That too is a thankless task that I applaud!!

I like those two, YES I DO!

Thats true - they then follow you home to your house and dump what may belong to you, on your front doorstep --- Just returning what you left behind ----- Beware!!!

Yep - Fumar really deserves a large hand for his pickup services.

I agree that is very considerate of them. I will be sure to carry extra bags when I'm out walking. It would be nice if everyone would clean-up after their own pets but since that is unlikely to happen I'm willing to do a little extra to help keep TV clean.
