We are all so concerned about an invasion

of our privacy through

the miracle of the internet and cell phones

and, now, we hear we

can be spied on through our T.V. screens

by corporations and

the National Security Agency and

God knows what pervert

while we sit in front of the tube in our skivvies,

but, in this age of recycling,

(which is a good thing…right?) the one who really

knows who we are and what

we do and how we entertain ourselves is the garbage

collector.  Environmentalism

is a good thing but better watch how many wine

bottles get tossed in the

recycling bin each week, not to mention the other

stuff about which you

don’t want anyone…to know.
