In case anyone receives this door hanger please see post!

Good Friday afternoon, my super-good friends!

It is a great day.
Like, a super great day.
Like a โ€œthe Solid Waste Social Media Team took the day offโ€ type of great day!

Just popping in to check on yโ€™all, make sure you get your weekly dose of Life-Sustaining Advice, and try to keep you out of the funny pages.

Weโ€™re going to keep this short so we can get back to catching some rays and working on the tan.

So, apparently, at least one of our fine customers received a hangtag on their door announcing a new recycling program. Naturally, the nice customer contacted the appropriate agencies, and the whole thing eventually landed in our lap.

I say nay, nay.

This is a prank.

Please disregard anything like this unless you read about it here first. Yeah, man, ainโ€™t nobody digging through your garbage looking for moldy cheese. Ugh.

So again, if someoneโ€™s unsupervised little tax deduction places one of these on your door, simply toss it into your recycling wheelie bin.

Anywhoz, itโ€™s Friday, and yโ€™all have been behaving yourselves, so weโ€™ll make this brief.

Itโ€™s time for your Complimentary Weekend Safety Brief!

The 3Ds:

๐Ÿ‘‰Donโ€™t drink and drive.

๐Ÿ‘‰Donโ€™t do stupid.

๐Ÿ‘‰Donโ€™t be flying down the dang road when itโ€™s raining like a water hose on a flat rock cuz you know these roads donโ€™t shed water worth a lick, and the next thing you know, youโ€™ll be hydroplaning because your tires, manufactured by MayPop, LLC, have a metric half-ounce of tread life remaining and then those tires will start skipping across the road like flat rocks, and your โ€™04 Altima with the two missing hubcaps is going to earn itself another beauty mark. Yes, Iโ€™m looking at you, Mr. Jackson County Plate Silver Sedan. Slow down.

(Dang it. Look at me over here being Safety Karen.)

Have a great weekend!

Stay safe!

Make good decisions!

Be slightly above average!

Just take one of the offered detours!

PS - I see ya. Keep going.

PPS - If I see something like Jimothy racoon around here, Iโ€™m out.

PPPS - Big election coming up. Weโ€™ll discuss that more next week!

PPPPS - Love ya, Byeee!
