Help a neighbor day (through church) was today. After church everyone who volunteered to help was broken out into teams. I had volunteered for manual labor, which usually means cleaning up someone's house/yard, but this year we were short of jobs for the inexplicable reason that four of the jobs we had lined up were at a trailer park that will not allow yard work on Sundays. Hmm? What? Apparently, the residents can't even cut their grass on Sundays. Anyway, we were short of work to do so I was in the trash detail. We formed a team to go pick up roadside trash. We picked N150W from G&G Hauling to the Tippe River bridge, because I happened to know it is seriously strewn with litter. So I and about 5 others sent a few hours collecting enough bottles (probably 80% of the trash was bottles) to hold Lake Superior. Colt also found a snake. Meanwhile, Beth and the kids were doing yard work in town, mostly gardening. Last Tuesday the Cub Scouts did almost the same thing; we worked down at the day camp picking up sticks and generally clearing the area of limbs and such getting it ready for camp this summer. Afterwards we took everyone who had showed up to DQ for ice cream.
