Hey Ridgely’s Record–are you reading this? Don’t forget to put it in the next issue!

All around the city, there was rejoicing. Last night on the news (WJZ-13, holla!) it was announced that bulk-trash removal would resume on August 2.

This is great and joyous news. Let’s go get some Rita’s and celebrate!

No, Rita’s does NOT pay me to continuously plug their awesomness.  However, if you are a representative of Rita’s, and would like to pay me, either in money or ice, I’m listening. Hit me up–I’m sure I can work out a deal. Maybe a large cotton candy ice every time I mention Rita’s?

Rita’s, Rita’s, Rita’s, Rita’s, Rita’s….I can go on, and on, and on. Seriously…let’s talk!

So, the temps have been hovering in the low to mid and even upper 90′s this past week.  The humidity is actually even more crazy. I’ve taken to the couch today to hide from the heat, and catch up on some guilty-pleasure TV dvr’ing that the Brain did for me last week while I was ensconced in studying mode.

I love air conditioning. It makes life much more bearable.

Last night as I was walking down Penn Street looking for a parking spot, a ginormous rat ran from an alley across my path and scared the bejesus out of me. At least, I think it was a rat.  I know it was fast and huge–but it was very dark in that part of the sidewalk, so it might not have been–but I’m pretty sure it was.

And I also wanted to note to the general reading public of Ridgely’s Delight that, just in case you didn’t know it, there is NO MORE BULK PICKUP! So you know those large appliances, carpeting, mattresses, tables, etc that you put out on the street and wait for the big city truck to come around and get? Well, it doesn’t happen any more.  There’s been a mattress in Dover for almost three weeks now–and the regular garbage won’t pick it up.So before you go and throw your sh!t out on the street, remember, it will sit there and sit there and sit there and Never.Go.Away.
