Dispose of your trash properly
Submitted by Kristel Cumpler, Bowie
As I’ve been enjoying early morning walks this summer, it has occurred to me that Bowie is fortunate to have many pleasant homes on its numerous shady, tree-lined streets. However, I have also noticed that Bowie’s appealing, small-town atmosphere has been unfortunately marred by an excessive amount of trash in the streets and along the curbs. Most of the trash I see has probably been tossed out of moving vehicles. Disposing of trash properly is a simple and easy thing for anyone to do. It takes no effort to keep a plastic grocery bag in your vehicle (I hang mine on the gear shift) and then empty the bag in your home trash bin once that becomes necessary. If we want to build a better Bowie, it makes sense to start with the small things over which we all have control. Your trash is your responsibility, and if we all accept that responsibility and use conscientious and courteous disposal habits, we will make positive strides toward helping our hometown become the great place that it can be.
Lent has just ended and if you observed it in any way, strictly or somewhere in the middle, you probably felt it. That slow shift in how you cook, what you reach for, and how often you stand in the kitchen wondering what else there is besides peanut butter and pimento cheese. But there is something about going through a season like that that resets your perspective.
You come out the other side appreciating things you did not think twice about before, and sometimes you discover a few new ones along the way.
As a kid, the frozen seafood we ate came in a rectangular box and answered to the name fish sticks.
They were breaded within an inch of their life, cooked until vaguely crisp, and served with enough ketchup to make you forget what you were eating.
They were not great. They were fine, which for a long time was about the best you could say for most frozen fish. And that stuck with me.
