Your trash can stopped smelling like death because you're now paying attention to it, not because the program is magic. Most people's garbage reeks because they let wet food sit in a bag for a week in a hot garage, not because compost pickup is some life changer. You said you cut from 3 bags to 1 a week, but that just means you were overstuffing bags before and now you're sorting scraps into a separate bin that a truck still has to drive around and pick up. My neighbor swore by hers too, right up until she figured out the city trucks haul that compost 40 miles to a plant and the whole thing burns more fuel than it saves. You didn't change your habits, you just moved the mess somewhere you can't smell it. What happens when they start charging for the bin next year?

Laughing at myself because I bought a fancy star tracker last year thinking it would fix everything, and now I just get blurry orange photos instead of sharp orange photos. I'm up in Cedar City and it's the same deal, the new subdivisions off the highway lit up that whole ridge in like two years. I've been driving out past Newcastle toward the county line, which adds about 40 minutes, but even there the glow is creeping in from both sides now. Honestly my workaround has just been shooting narrowband stuff or catching the Milky Way when it's straight overhead instead of near the horizon where all that junk sits.
