Furniture woes

This is to the kind and generous folks that so lovingly keep dumping their unwanted furniture on our county roads. As a Payne County resident, I often get the joy of driving by a torn up recliner or perhaps pieces of a destroyed overstuffed sectional.

Believe me, your furniture that “accidentally” made it’s way over your pickup bed and onto our ditches would still look better in your living room then on the side of the road. I was thinking that at almost $4 a gallon for gas, maybe it would have been cheaper to actually take the unwanted furniture to the city dump rather than drive aimlessly throughout the county dirt roads looking for the perfect unloading spot.

Or, maybe I’m wrong and you actually were moving furniture from one house to another, at 3 a.m., and just haven’t realized (a week later) that you are missing your old leather chair.

Nonetheless, please remember the phrase “what goes around comes around and your careless actions will catch up with you.”

Do to others as you would have them do to you. Luke 6:31
