Opus 2012-201, On the Street: New Concepts for a New Generation

Recently I was waiting in the car as my wife ran into a store for a “quick” purchase.  This was one of those rare moments when I did not bring a book so I was reading anything in sight.  Today that included a tastefully done kiosk close to the car.  It was labeled as an “Oops, clean-up station, a convenience for pets on the go.”  I assume a pun was intended.  It had plastic bags available and a place to put them.  There are benefits to shopping in an affluent area.

Do you remember seeing “Curb Your Dog” signs?  We have moved that to a new level.  What a country.

  1. Gasp! You mean they didn't specifically mention composting it and "recycling" it as fertilizer?

  2. Maybe it was in the small print. I didn't get close enough to read that. I didn't want to walk on the ground close to the pole.

    Grace and peace.

  3. I am from the country and when I moved to the city many eons ago I saw the sign "no standing" - took me awhile to figure that one out.

    1. When you wrote it I had to stop and think a minute, but I get your point. I didn't understand what they meant by "curb your dog" until I visited New York.

      Live and learn.

      Grace and peace.
