Today was the Keep Midland Beautiful annual fall cleanup, and people were out all over town picking up other people's trash. Here's a big hats-off to all of them.
I was out there picking up trash at my usual spot and noticed a new entry in the trash heap of human leavings. "Joose," a flavored malt liquor which is 9.9% alcohol. Parteee!
Most of us learned early on to pick up our own trash, but picking up other people's trash is a little bit harder. The slobs should have cleaned up their own mess. But that's the tragedy of the commons, and that problem has been around longer than we have.
That's where KMB has done such a good job of inspiring citizens to get out and pick up. Oh, we can't forget the free hot dogs. Once again the chef had prepared a batch of blackened hot dogs. Dark and crunchy on the outside, rich and fatty on the inside. Scrumptious! Add some relish and mustard, toss in a bag of chips, and you've got yourself a fine meal. Bring your own Joose.
