The Computers are Gone !!!

Thought we would do a quick post this afternoon.  We forgot to take pictures, but all the Kohls will be able to picture what happened.   This morning on the radio dad heard about an Electronics Recycle day by Save the Bay in Providence,   there would be people there from Amricorps who were doing a service project.   Well we had been putting all the dead computers and TV's in the van so we were able to attend the event.   Can you believe they took everything,   I think there were 8 computers plus the monitors and then the 3 Televisions,   the first 50 TV's brought in would be free to drop off.   When we arrived there was a long line of cars, we were hoping they wouldn't stop taking things before we got there, but they were really trying to figure out what they were going to do, and perhaps were busy at 9:00 eating doughnuts.   Once they got going it went quickly.  When we got to the recycle point about 6 kids swarmed around the car and started taking stuff out and putting it into piles.   Took about 4 minutes to get everything out, then we were on our way.   A great weight has been lifted,  only took about two hours of time to do the whole thing.  Good that we were ready and everything was in the van ready to go when we heard about it.
