MOVING DAY by Steve Nadis
I’m having a busy day, as well as a productive one. A friend–Jungle Jerk, in fact (we’re talking again after a long “cooling-off” period)–left his car on the street before he flew to Brazil, where presumably he’ll find a jungle or two that’s still intact, provided the forests have not been totally cleared, burned, paved over, or otherwise plundered. But this happens to be a special day in our neighborhood, what we call “street cleaning” day–a twice-a-month occurrence that causes untold anxiety among the residents on our block. After Beth, another friend who shares the driveway with us, left for work, I moved Jungle Jerk’s Taurus to the back of the driveway, just ahead of the tow trucks. Whew! That was close! Now I’d better rest. I don’t want to overdo it today. In fact, I’ve already done too much.

Hey, cool blog! I moved somebody’s car once. Really took it out of me. But we don’t do any street cleaning where I live. That sounds cool too.
Thanks. It sounds like we have a lot in common. By the way, I read "War with the Newts" a long time ago, and it’s a great book.
