In the aftermath of last week's blizzard, large piles of trash had gone uncollected in the city for days. It was widely reported in the media yesterday that a man who attempted suicide by jumping from his ninth floor apartment survived because he landed in a heap of trash bags. It was probably the only good news from a post-blizzard week marked by the much criticized slow snow-plowing response and finger pointing. The picture of recyclables above was taken outside our apartment building yesterday.
