I always wanted to throw something in the Red Cedar.

Tuesday evening at my house, Corner goes to take our kitchen trash out. He returns moments later, still carrying the full bag of trash, and asks, “Where is your trash cart? Oh wait…it’s garbage day, is it still out front?”

Corner goes to the front of the house. No trash cart. Hmmm. I ask my roommates. No one knows about the status of the trash. Sam admits to taking it out to the road that morning, but no one ever brought it in. Sam suggests perhaps Dekes stole it as revenge for our drunk party guest stealing their vacuum cleaner (which had already been stolen from Campbell Hall). Sam calls CRMC to make sure they didn’t take the cart away because we hadn’t paid the bill yet…they deny taking the trash cart but say that they will replace it ASAP. Hmmm.

The City of Lansing calls the next day to say that they had fished our trash cart out of the Red Cedar River and planned to sanitize it and return it to us.
