Thunderstorms?

First posted FB 7/1/14:

Ok, two things for locals, did you hear all the notices on TV today about the thunder storms? You'd think we were about to wash away. The one that ended up getting a great laugh at dinner was when they told us to stay away from windows. Thank goodness they saved lives all over the Truckee Meadows with that one! The other thing is for Renoites--is anyone else annoyed that we now have to pay $2.25 for extra bags or branch bundles that don't fit in the trash? Used to be we'd slip the guys a fiver once in a while, but now the trash folks require a sticker per item and those stickers cost bucks. The guys tell us they are being watched and are afraid to go against their bosses on this. Yesterday I heard all our recycled items are being sent to China (haven't verified it yet). That's been proven to be very bad economically and environmentally, and an inhumane strategy. Did we vote for this unsound business practice, is it another lamebrain plan by our city council, or is it the knuckleheads on the staff that came up with this unsound business practice?
