the junk truck

Before I go on to talk about my weekend, I would like to talk about a topic that's very near and dear to my heart: the junk truck.

Some may know if for its incessant clanking which bombinates when nearby and some may know it purely for its asthetic qualities, but this neighborhood faux pas has been the subject of much chatter. It came to my attention this week when the DSA asked me, no, wait, dared me to extricate a dolphin from the varigated assortment. I declined.
