It was like those lines that you wait in to get out of a concert...

So I'm at the post office sending out a package when my cell phone rings and it's my husband telling me that there is a truck at the OCC campus picking up hazardous materials and that we can drop off all those paint cans and batteries that we have. So I'm all excited, like as if I was just told I won a $1,000 big ones. So I rush home from the post office, grab something to eat and think, ahh this should be a quick trip, I will bring Ella with me!

So off we go with our hazardous materials in the back of our "bling bling black mountaineer" to make a quick stop to do our good dead for the day. As we approach the OCC campus drive, I couldn't believe what I was seeing....was Oprah Winfrey here handing out her canvas grocerybags? Was this the unemployment line for the WHOLE state of Michigan? We didn't even make it up to the entrance of the parking lot and the cars were intertwined like a maze through out the parking lot. Not only were the cars lined up through out several lanes and rows , they were in double lines! It was an unbelievable site, almost brought tears to my eyes. I knew this was going to be a long wait, but I could be part of history!!!

It was a long wait, 45 minutes I believe. I give props to my daughter for her patience (even if she did eat a black crayon while we waited-good thing they are non-toxic or I may have had to drop her off) but I told her why we were waiting in line and why we were going to be so patient, we are helping the environment and that's a GOOD THING! :-)

PS-I give a shout out to all those people who were working there today!
