A Bunch of Trivial Matters

A Bunch of Trivial Matters

By Xuefeng

This morning, we cleaned up all the trash in the main center, packing it into six large bags. Then, Ehuang and I took the trash to the dump 22 kilometers away. After that, we took water samples to the airport, visited the post office to check for mail, and bought some supplies—quite a trip to town! How big is our city? During the entire trip, we only encountered two cars and saw four people. There was no one at the dump, three people at the airport, and the post office and store are combined, where we only saw one clerk.

Lately, every morning around six, a large flock of white swans flies in. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to capture their graceful flight on camera.
