Trash Pick-up, Pacific Ave in front of Grocery Outlet, Aberdeen

Before I decided to pick up the litter at Wes Peterson Playfield, I saw this ditch FULL of plastic bags and such. It ended up getting put on the back burner, but not for very long. I still had my 1/4 full trash bag in my car from yesterday so I opened it up and filled it to the brim.

As I was close to finishing, two men finished their grocery shopping and one of them approached me with some money in his outstretched hand. I thanked him, but my hands were gloved and filthy, so he stuffed the bills into my coat pocket and told me to buy something to drink. I thanked him again, and he thanked me. Today was a good day.
