I spent last night at my new place. I was awakened at 4:25 a.m. by a really, really loud crash that sounded like an explosion outside my window. I bolted upright in bed and wondered if someone had been shot, listening to my upstairs neighbors run down their hall as car alarms blared up and down the street.
I peeked out the window. One by one the car alarms went off just as quickly as they had gone on. I heard no emergency sirens and there was only one guy standing on the corner, weaving and wavering with liqour.
I realized that the "explosion" was the garbage truck dropping the corner fruit stand's giant metal dumpster from a significant height.
Ah, trash day.
