Chilly trash morning

Air temperature 35 F, west wind about 5 mph, clear sky. The city has replaced the random bags and bins of trash day with heavy-duty roll out bins for automatic pickup. These have the additional feature of being crow and gull resistant, and would even pose a puzzle to the raccoons. I expect a petition from our traditional clean-up crew to City Council any week now.
