    Has Michigan fixed the garage trucks losing trash as they drive down the interstate? One of my favorite sites... no, not really.

      I think it came out when I was in 4th or 5th grade, so I didn't quite have the "experience" that you did. I imagined that's the way it was in Michigan before the bottle bill. The ditches in Missouri were full of those cans.

        I remember walking down the ditches looking for $.02 bottles when I was a kid, but then they quit selling those and the ditches were full of trash.

        When they put the dime refund on all of the bottles and cans, there wasn't a can or bottle to be found.

        We had to establish beer bottle etiquette. Do you leave your beer bottles at a party or take them home? Ha!

        It's a good law. I'm sure Geezer was opposed to it.

        • when we first moved to Michigan, the bottle deposit was something new to us... hated it. Constantly had to hold onto bottles or cans to get my money back. When we left Michigan, I missed it. Forced some good behaviors and you are correct.. cans were not just tossed into the trash or left in a parking lot after a tailgate (with the exception of people from out of town who wouldn't return them... but they were quickly picked up by someone)

                This is a useful factoid for anyone who is still mystified by the rise of Donald Trump.

                  If FB is up to 58 then it appears NYC is being rather bigoted.

                    • Along those same lines -- the video game developers' conference (GDC) is ditching trivial matters like gameplay, technical performance, and graphics to focus on more important features of video games.

                                Well I'm sure there will be compliance at a satisfactory rate.
