Last Wednesday I took a walk in the neighborhood with two of
my grandchildren. We were halfway around the block when we were passed by a truck
towing a colorful trailer. It stopped a few houses in front of us and the
driver got out. He pulled a high-pressure hose from the side of the trailer and
began spraying my neighbor’s trash bin. Then he hooked the bin to a lifting
device on the back of the trailer while we stood by, mesmerized. He invited my
grandson to come push a button that lifted the can upside-down over the
trailer, where it was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. My granddaughter got
to push the button that brought the spotless can back to the curb. Before he
left, the man handed us a flyer advertising his business: “Cantastic.” He
invited me to subscribe to his can cleaning service. I may take him up on it;
if only for the entertainment value.
