Don’t tell anyone. This has to stay between you and me. I used the phone book today. Google just wasn’t cutting it for finding a local waste removal service. The City of Aurora’s web site suggested (gasp!) that I use a phone book. So I went upstairs, grabbed one out of our pile of 7 phone books we’ve got and called Waste Management. Their courteous operator took my order, set me up with my schedule and BAM! [to quote a certain sterile chef] I’m going to have my garbage picked up by WM tomorrow instead of the other company. Also, I’ve got recycling now, which is handy since recycling is good for the environment or something.

But like I said, dont’ tell anyone I actually opened up the phone book. I’m going to put the other 6 phone books into the recycle box next week so that WM can collect them and then take them to the recycling elves who will make our worldly posessions new again simply by waving their magic wand at them and turning them into cookies.
