It is disconcerting when you have something that everyone you talk to in town is so positive and supportive about, but find it so difficult to accomplish that goal. I realize that every new idea is going to have a few snags to overcome.  You have to meet your failures, embrace them, then look at how you can overcome them. I do believe that is how you get to the best solution and plan.

Problem is, every time you come up with what you think is the flawless plan someone puts a whole new wrinkle in it. Right now we are looking at putting a 28' semi trailer on a lot somewhere in town to collect the plastic that has been placed in plastic bags by the citizens. We have the trailer committed, we have interested youth and other groups interested in helping and so you would think it to be a pretty straight forward, simple process. Have the trailer manned once a week for a few hours to collect the plastic and a container beside the trailer to the impatient ones.

Who would figure all the obstacles with finding a place to park the trailer?  Being a snowbird, who doesn't see much snow, one flaw I didn't foresee was snow. Snow piles up and takes money to remove. Snow hazards causing liability issues. Messy snow, slippery ice, winter, winter, winter. Which brings us to the new wrinkle, how to get someone to have a vision and a solution to present to overcome the snow problems.

Probable my cred isn't too strong when I approach someone about using their site and I show no comprehension about snow issues.  Guess I need to bone up on snow and keep the fact that I don't usually personally deal with the stuff in my life to myself.  Guess I'll send someone who relates better next time.
