Trash Strike


In addition to rolling transportation strikes and demonstrations, higher levels of security and the normal bureaucracy here, we are now having a trash strike in my neighborhood.  This is on rue Vaugirard at rue Cassette.  The street was blocked for repair work.  Immediately homeless immigrants set up shop (maybe 7 of them) on the sidewalk.  Now everyone must be dumping their trash here.  There's plenty of trash on the sidewalk too.  It's starting to get warm here and the trash has been out for days.  The inevitable leaks are starting and making the sidewalk pretty gross. 

I hope it's over soon.  It is really hard to walk a dog in this kind of mess and I'm afraid to open my windows on the street side of the apartment.
