Stickman: Tubbs Hill Has Litter Guardian Angel

This time of year brings out a lot of garbage. On Tubbs Hill it's pretty clean, made so by people who go around each day and pick up garbage. The 'Poop Lady' as I call her, picks up at least 5 to 6 plastic bags full of garbage each day, plus all the poop that has been left on the trail. There are others who make the same effort, otherwise Tubbs would be terrible this time of year. As for the Lake, I don't go boating so I wouldn't know, but if it washes up, she will get it. She even got a picker-upper thingy for her birthday, that's all she wanted. If you see a young woman in her 30's or so walking with a black lab named Charlie, please thank her, because she does this every day of the year and gets much satisfaction from it.
