10-199 (18/7/23) -- Literary Day

Last night, I put out the compost bin and garbage bags for early morning pickup. Today, I went to retrieve the green bin from the end of the drive and found it across the street in a construction zone beside a port-a-potty. <sigh> Someone mentioned that we may have to put things on one side of the street since the trucks might not go down both sides. <sigh> How goofy will that be? Putting my waste on somone elses driveway or lawn. <sigh> I will get it straightened out -- just not sure who to contact to find out where this should go. 

Without television, wifi or phone working at present, I've been playing dvds just for the sound in the background. Today was a literary day <smile> -- Alexandre Dumas' Man in the Iron Mask, Sir Walter Scott's Rob Roy, and James Fennimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans. I've read many books by each of these authors. The stories are captivating. I find it interesting that things that were written 200 or more years ago still resonate today. Reading the books shows much more than movies often portray. I like them both, but the book often gives a richer tapestry of the story. That said, I hope the electronic connectivity issue can be fixed tomorrow when another tech visits the house <fingers crossed>. <smile> 

My thoughts on movies and books brought a song title to mind. The lyrics are metaphorical, but I like the overt message of the title. <smile> Keep safe. Enjoy! 

Why Don't You Rad the Book -- Nazareth
