Sacramento (US): Ethan Dean has always dreamed of being a garbage man. Yesterday, the 6-year-old lived that fantasy: riding shot gun in a booster seat through Sacramento in a truck labeled "Ethan's Garbage Truck."

Ethan, garbage man for the day, made a series of stops in Sacramento to collect trash and recyclables from places like the fire station and CalEPA, where his father works. It wasn't a chore for Ethan, who has cystic fibrosis. When asked at one stop what his favorite part of the day had been, he said it
was "cleaning up garbage." Throughout his trip, he wore a cape that said "Hero Ethan" and a big smile.
