Sometimes, this modern age (I'm talking technology here) gets the carriage before the horse.
First off, I want to thank the three ladies at Rite Aid in Ada for patiently helping me for 45 minutes try to print pictures of my recently deceased dog, Caesar.
We tried. We failed.
Remember not too many moons ago when you could buy roll of 400 ASA film, shoot 24 or so pictures, return to the store, drop off the film and, if you are lucky, get your prints back within 24 hours?
Ada went from a green tote town to a blue tote town on Monday when trash service for most of the village changed from Waste Management to Republic Services. Republic brought 2,400 containers to Ada to begin pickup next Monday. (Monty Siekerman photo)
