"Opps bummer," I say aloud seeing some of the garbage fell out of the bagbefore it made it into the trash cans.

I’m a little surprised they haven’t been here to … talk to you about it.”The woman pulled back. “They know?”“Of course, I had to tell them to get permission to travel here quickly, they are less than happy with you and yours..
