Knocked off work a little early since there wasn't much I could accomplish in terms of work, and because it was such a nice day, almost 70 and shorts weather. Picked up five streets in Townsend (one of which is not real, it's just a driveway, albeit one with a very official-looking street sign that matches the name of the homeowner). Coming down Rte. 119 was a bit of excitement, with sustained high speed on a slightly twisty road for about four minutes, and no cars passed me until I was past Trap Falls. It was unfortunately not possible to carry any of that speed though the turn onto the climb of Hamilton Hill Rd.

If I'm going to clean up the world, I might as well start in my own little corner, so I grabbed a plastic bag and set out to tidy up the frontage of my property, and the area across the street where my mailbox is located. A few lottery tickets, a foam coffee cup, a couple of candy bar wrappers, an empty pack of cigarettes, those weren't surprising. The empty Jell-O box and the plastic container that had once held organic broccoli sprouts were more unexpected. Nine beverage containers, of which maybe five are returnable: two nips, one water, one Pepsi Zero, two Miller Lites, a Twisted Tea, some hard seltzer and a Cotton Candy flavored Bang (first I'd heard of it, and I don't plan to purchase any myself).
