Trash Duty

I believe I've mentioned this before. For some bizarre reason, guys "have" to take the garbage out.

I chose my words carefully: "have" to take the garbage out.  Not because we want to, although it gets us out of the house (a really good reason as it turns out), but because we apparently were born to actually "have" to do it.

I was just out last night doing garbage duty in a summer rainstorm because, of course, I "had" to do it.

I actually paused and looked up. It was pitch black, and I had to blink once or twice, but it was a summer rain. It was remarkably pleasant. I could still be out there, but I don't think I'll dry out much before September.
