Doesn't your city give you recycling containers?
They do have containers, but they're pretty small for our use. We go through a lot of recycable containers (soda cans, jars--apple sauce, jam, peanut butter, spaghetti sauce, etc., plastic bottles of juices and milk, beer & wine bottles, etc.) and our pick up is only every other week. So we used heavy-duty, lidded, 33 gallon trash bins to hold all the stuff.
There have been reports of recycling scavengers in the newspaper--and a letter from the city because it's stealing revenue from them. I suspect that the lure of the aluminum theft is tempting because it's easy money on the night before trash/recycling collections.
That's so cool! I should find out if there's anything like that here. (Probably not for kids under 2, but it would be good to know for the future.)

I'm still not convinced. With this origin story, wouldn't you just become a vibrator fetishist? It just doesn't seem confined to boats. It could be a wind-up duck, but I don't see toy duck fetishists!
My other issue is that on the map the toy boats were near the latex and rubber stuff.

Sweet! Parents' Survival Night indeed.

I think the decisions/reactions to this have been really interesting in where people think the lines should be drawn.
Cashmere, that is totally irritating!
Saturday we are cleaning the garage since neighborkitty has been stealing more than socks and underwear out of there. Then we are going to the strawberry festival in Oxnard.
Sunday I am taking Noah to the Little Tokyo Funfest with Lori and then we are going to Milk and Bookies at Storyopolis.
Sox, I'm writing up a Vegas + Baby article for you. It may take a while.
Weekend:
Tonight, go to CalArt's graduation with ND. (He teaches there part time.) Apparently these graduations are...unique. Pink bunny suits and rappelling down the sides of buildings unique.
This weekend...no plans whatsoever. Kind of cool, actually.
My plans this weekend?
FINALLY mail my friend's new baby present. Watch the Preakness.
Saturday: help out friend who is having a teenage amazing race birthday party and teach an abbreviated childbirth class for a friend.
Sunday: church, laundry, maybe some packing for the trip
