Today I woke up and it was a beautiful day. There was a rare Kansas City snow, cold wind, rain of course clouds. On this wonderful Saturday I went over to the old house and loaded up a truck full of crap that was to pathetic to even put on Craigslist and headed North to beautiful Shawnee, Ks. Inside this city lays the most incredible site I have ever seen, the landfill. How have i missed out on this little gem?
After you get weighed by the toothless trash dude that had to work a Saturday you head up the long winding road of filth. As you take this road you get to catch a glimpse of a small trash town sitting in a valley of filth. It must be nice to work there and eat your lunch on the patio on a nice hot summer day. This town however is not the end of the road.
After taking in the scenic town you continue up the mountain (of trash) road to the top of the heap making sure that you follow the "landfill" signs. Once you get to the top it is not what you expect at all. There are thousands of white birds attacking the trash and they even have a nice little trash lake which you can see (lake not pond). I have never seen that many birds in my life. I sat there and thought why the hell are these birds here, they have wings, they can go anywhere that they want yet they hang out at the freaking dump. Then I realized that I was at the dump on a Saturday too.
It took me an hour to clean off the truck but the memories of the landfill will last me a lifetime.
