Given that this is the last week that this will happen as we know it, I would like to pay homage to the "rubbish boys" that have collected my rubbish bag every single week for the last 27 years.
Not rain, hail, snow, ash or Christmas Day, Good Friday or
any other holiday that fell on a week day, has caused them to miss one single pick up.
I had the privilege of working with them many years ago and know that they are one of a kind who have had one of the most unsavoury jobs on the planet.
Unsung heroes in my book and I wish you all the very best as we move forward to making our world a better place for our grandkids. Kia kaha boys.
