In my previous post, I exhorted everyone to think before acting. Well, it turns out that sometimes I need a reminder to follow my own advice.
But what is one to do when the pumpkin on your second-story balcony has gone all rancid and nasty from age and rain-water? Clearly, that plastic shopping bag isn’t going to cut it if one were to try to carry that malformed abomination back through one’s apartment – carpeting is bound to suffer smelly, orange-black dribblings.
So, without a moment’s hesitation, I threw it off the balcony.
Well, that was dumb. Had I given it any thought whatsoever, I would have realized that the plastic bag would not withstand the impact from 20ft.
It just goes to show… something. I’m not sure what, yet.
