How Not to Impress the New Neighbors

Do not throw away already-smelly, raw chicken into the garbage can in the alley four days before garbage collection and the night before a neighborhood alley rummage sale when the temperature is significantly above freezing.  Unless you want to see a lot of wrinkled noses and looks of disgust.  And a shovel-full of maggots. It's a good thing I went home for lunch today. Today, I was thankful for the sandy soil in my backyard and the ease with which I could dig a deep hole. I swear it didn't smell that bad when I left for work at 7:45 am.  Sun + rancid chicken + black garbage can = GROOOOSSSSSSS!!!!!
