For Eddie
And for you Eddie I am sorry that I didn't keep up very well with the post when we were in Italy, but I will give you a recap. So we went threw a "war" in Italy, the mob declared war on Italy on their national television during late September of 2008. Fun right! Prior to this was our trash dilemma that you all kind of heard about. Well I saw streets filled with trash wall to wall (literally because the building walls line the streets there) and at least 5 feet high. Then the next week you would drive by and it would all be on fire, but this consumed about one out of every three streets. During this time there were threats to those who would try to go on life like every day, a school bus was threatened that their tires would be slashed if they would try to go down one road again. I was also suck on the freeway (only two lanes) in a bus and backed up because we weren't allowed to go any further. then the Italian government sent their army to clean up the trash, and yet again two years later about the same time there are trash issues again. Oh and the Mob before declaring war told the Italian government we are going to shut down Italy just to prove how strong we are, and they did very successfully for a week nothing moved.
