Somebody's Tax Dollars At Work

SUSAN ANASAGASTI of the MIAMA HERALD wrote

The lime-green garbage cans showed up in George Henning's South Miami-Dade neighborhood as if they had dropped from the sky.

They were nifty, but no one knew why they were there.

Instructions stuffed into each can detailed the county's new garbage collection system, which use the cans and a truck called a ``one-arm bandit.''

But no one knew what was going on -- and calls to the county produced only more confusion.

Then, three days after they appeared, the cans disappeared.

Whoops, said the county.

Wow! A governmental body actually admitted to making a mistake!

Could this be another Sign of the Apocalypse?
