There has been a strike for the past week. Anytime there is a strike it is meant to communicate a message, but this one stinks. Literally.<\/p>\n

 Garbage removal in Ponferrada is done by a government entity. As I understand it, there are cutbacks to the workforce due to the crisis here, and they are firing more garbage and cleaning personnel. In order to fight against the cuts in these areas, instead of others, the sanitation workers have decided not to collect the trash. So it sits there in the sun and rain, day and night.

\nA few years ago Ponferrada was named as one of the cleanest cities in Spain. Not today.<\/p>\n

Inside I have this driving desire to start up my own trash removal business. Well\u2026I guess I wouldn\u2019t say a \u201cdriving desire,\u201d but more of a \u201chey-this-would-be-a-great-idea-for-someone-else-to-do\u201d idea.<\/p>\n
