Re: My "Memorable Occasion"

Several friends expressed surprise at my ignorance of robotic trash collection and sardonically welcomed me to the Third Millennium. By way of explication (and in my own defense): I lived for sixteen years in rural Tennessee, where I had to haul my own trash to a County dumpster; then, until recently, I lived for nine years in a hi-rise condominium at the Jersey Shore, where I simply dropped my waste down a chute in a hallway closet. So for the past quarter century, I have been unwittingly insulated from the Remarkable Residential Refuse-removal Revolution!
