Starting the Day with a Smile

Walking home after my morning run, I picked up plastic bottles and other garbage until I had both hands full. I stopped a park employee and asked if I could throw my findings in the back of his pickup. He said, "This is not a garbage truck." I smiled and said, "I'm not a garbage man!" He shot me a little grin. "I hear you," he said, and with a tilt of his head gestured for me to empty my garbage into his truck.
