Recycling Conspiracy

Last week on my street's garbage day I strolled outside for my daily run to my favorite coffee place, only to find some of my garbage strewn across the sidewalk. The recyclers had already come and gone, but the garbage truck hadn't yet. I picked up the debris and threw it back in the bin, only to discover that all of my recycling had actually been dumped into the garbage bin. It wasn't just dumped on top, either. The garbage had been lifted out, the recycling dumped in at the bottom, and the garbage replaced on top of the recycling.

The 70's were brown, green, and mustard

I recently received a package of goodies that included some slides dated from the 1970s. They certainly have gorgeous color. I wonder if everything really looked this way, even without the aid of hallucinogens.
