Happy Firday! Another cool sunny day. I barely woke up in time for irk today. {{{ **Swampy** }}} {{{ **Midget** }}} SSDD ---

**EmilyG** ’s in Canada, but here in California, I cash in soda cans regularly (well, when I get around to taking them to the recycle place, that is). Seems a bit silly to spend as much time traveling as I’m going to today just for a four-hour shift, but that’s life. Must do homework after paid irk, since all three of my classes have stuff coming due Sunday night. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > With cans? I had believed it to be done only with bottles. Some places (and some in Canadadada) are really “Green” like that. I’ve hit a few places in my wanderings that will do both cans and bottles. > [@EmilyG](#): > > I should take this Dr Pepper can to the store when I’m finished with it, and get some money for it. I can also find some beer cans to take to the store. They’re my dad’s beer cans, but he lets me take them to the store. I wonder if the store clerk thinks I’m a boozer. Haha 😛 Because technically you aren’t allowed alcohol in state forests, after our history event the one guy hauls all the bagged empties home for the recycling pick-up in his community. I’ve often wondered what his neighbors think; here his house is all quiet and everything for five days and the following Tuesday is 5-8 really large recycling bags of every imaginable form of booze empties from beer to Yukon Jack. Gotta be some heads turned here and there. ---

It’s things like this that make me wish we were at least on a first name basis with the people across the street as they go through a lot of beer in the man-cave, err, garage. They just toss the empties into their recycle bin, thus throwing away all that CRV. I’m not really familiar with man-caves to begin with…theirs looks like it would be at the far bottom end of the spectrum - a TV with some random chairs around it in the front corner of the garage. The rest of the garage is filled with the lawnmower, bikes, piles and trash bags of stuff - probably old toys and kids’ clothes for all I know. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > You may recycle at the store? When I was but a Spider(relatively)youngster, I dated a girl in another state. Once a month before I’d go there, I’d take the big trashbag of recycling cans from an organization I belonged to & throw them in the back of the car. We were a recycling state, but she was in a deposit state. For hauling a couple pounds of already collected & bagged aluminum to the store I’d get a free (or almost) free six-pack for the weekend. 😃 > [@Buttercup\_Smith](#): > > So far the track of Erika is dead on us.

**flytrap** , when I lived in Indiana, we’d take marked cans across the line to Michigan, where the deposit return was more than what you got at the recycling center. I’m finally home. The four hours tha4i irked were productive, but I still hav a metric shit ton to finish Monday. I’ll be glad when month end is over. ---

My hugs and best prayers and wishes your way. And take it from someone older and dummer, booze really doesn’t help any - not even really dulling the pain. It just makes you blurry enough to keep the hurt going longer. Bad days will still happen and the urge will always be there but it does lessen over time and the whole world slowly eases. ---

I’m sure that **Buttercup** , being in Florida, isn’t as bad off as we are in California. I’m really hoping that the incoming clouds mean some hope of rain here. Attitude Kid struck again, trying to override my explanation of policy to a customer by telling her to go over my head to a manager. Said manager, incidentally, told the customer the very same thing I had.
