Kin Town Garbage Truck Got Me Thinking

Honor the Profession

They way I look at things, the guy driving the garbage truck, deserves a lot of respect.

The guy driving that truck, gets a wave and smile from me every time we cross paths.

He waves and smiles back. He knows, I'd give him the shirt off my back and, he'd do the same for me.

Everyone, around the globe should think, the way I do, about these hard workers.

There are politicians and preachers involved in the garbage industry, as well.

They work in a different aspect of the industry. Let's call it "distribution."

Whereas, the guy down on the street, is involved in the "collection" aspect of the business.

Don't you think, they should all be paid equal wages ? 

5 Things I Learned from this Book

Not in the Habit of Doing Book Reviews

The typhoon that almost hit us, gave me some time to get caught up on some reading.

The librarian told me, I had to return this one in two weeks and, I got it last Tuesday.

Imagine, how delighted she'll be, when it gets back to her a week early !

Real quick and without any drumrolls here's what I learned:

1. The author was someone named, Miyume Tanji.

2.  The ISBN 10: 041536500

3. In 1956 they had some awful differences in the wages people got paid, around here.

U.S. workers got paid $1.20 per hour.

Japanese received $.83 per hour.

Okinawan wages were $.10 per hour.

4. The word Myth, in the title was probably used, to be an eye-catcher.

5. It's a good thing the library, loaned me this book. It's $188.00 at Amazon.

That's all, I got to say.
