Clean ‘Cuse
Friday, March 19th, 2010

Well, Mario did his part in cleaning up Syracuse in preparation for NCAA tournament games to be held in our fair (at least this week) city. Last night he walked around the yard and filled two large trash bags with the debris that was uncovered after the big snow melt.
All those fast-food containers, soda cans, beer bottles, and used condoms (ick) that were thrown out of car windows and then covered by snow were revealed after several days of glorious sun and warmth slowly turned the snow and ice from its solid state to liquid. He even picked up a dead squirrel, but I doubt it had been thrown out a car window. It’s more likely that it was run over by a car as it stood in the middle of the street first running one way and then another, its little squirrel thoughts careening inside its head, “Which way do I go, which way do I go!”
So, welcome to Syracuse NCAA visitors! We’ve cleaned up our dead squirrels for you!
