Every year about this time, I think about this.

There are dozens of boxes of old files and documents and stuff ready to be shredded at the end of the year.

I think it would be more fun to burn them.

In fact, I'd love to have a community bonfire to dispose of all this stuff.  A celebration in the style of Burning Man.

One special day would be designated.  The city could close off some streets, designate a large parking lot, or other concrete area for fire safety.  The fire department could stand by in case of any problem.

People would bring their boxes of old stuff to burn, and toss it all into the bonfire.

Imagine how good that would feel, seeing old love letters, old income returns, and other old crap go up in flames.

A street fair or festival could be scheduled around the event.

Yeah, I like the idea alot.

This could go national it could be a holiday. I'm concerned it might contribute to global warming. Maybe I've gone a bit too far. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Smores anyone.  I'll bring the graham crackers and chocolate if someone else will bring the marshmellows.

Caution: CAT BLOG AHEAD

Including random thoughts on life, art, business, stuff, and occasionally Real Estate.

What is a CAT BLOG?

According to Seth Godin: "Cat blogs are for, by, and about the person blogging. A cat blog is about your cat and your dating travails and your boss and whatever else you feel like sharing in your public diary." Well, I am the boss, my dating years are behind me, but I do love my cats.

Enjoy!
