It used to be that on the Saturday of “clean-up week”, you could put your cast-offs at the curb and they would be picked up. The city stopped doing that some years ago and instead just issued free tickets to the transport site for the landfill. Soooooo, we accumulated some – shall we say – stuff during the years because we didn’t have a way to get big things to the site.

This year Der Bingle decided to take the situation by the horns and got a U-Haul truck with a COW on it – – but he didn’t notice he had a cow until I came out yelling, “You have a cow! You have a cow!”

He acknowledged it was a cow from Wisconsin, but he said it in passing because he was thinking of the work ahead.

Here is Cameron, at my insistence, giving the cow a scratch behind the ears. It appears he is also thinking of the work ahead.

Here is the big push from Summer as the sofa goes in . . .

And here is Summer’s dad, Robert William, going down in the Big Push.

Notice the arm reaching out for help.

And finally, The Mighty Moo takes off.
