I always thought 2x/week pick-up was overkill. I thought maybe it was a hot summer trash smell strategy.

But then after one hurricane they dropped it to once a week β€” AND KEPT THE PRICE THE SAME.

There was a post the other day about bros cramming ground beef to get protein - and how in a few weeks they’ll mix it and other protein with rice and claim they invented jambalaya.
Can’t wait til they find out about hamburger helper.

And this is why, even though this was a 30-hour "event" it is a full two days of business operations. Schools had to have bottled water and kitchen plans for today as well.

Boil water advisory is cancelled - Tues. March 10, 9:30 a.m.

Thought this is a pretty big caveat for operations β€” and the main concern for schools "At this time, customers may experience lower-than-normal pressures until Friday while we work to get the transmission main back in service."

Asked Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., about the bombing of the girls' school in Iran. "It was terrible. We made a mistake," he said. "Other countries do that sort of thing intentionally, like Russia. We would never do that intentionally. I think the department is investigating it now, and I'm sorry."

These early morning boil advisories are tough because they are automatically a two-day event.
