Espola's newest neighborhood

In the early days of the Lakota Ghost Shirt movement, the Prophet Wovoka who started the religion passed this revelation on from the Great Mystery --
"I made all the trees of the forest for your use, but the maple I love the best because it yields sugar for your little ones. You must make it only for them, but sell none to the whites. They have another sugar which was made expressly for them. Besides, by making too much, you spoil the trees and give them pain by hacking them, for they have feelings like yourselves. If you take more than is necessary for your own use, you shall die, and the maple will yield no more water."

I got $40 even for my CRV recycling yesterday, but I lost the receipt in the wind and I wasn't about to chase it in the heat. That was more than I expected ($25-30), but less than last time ($50).

Found the receipt snuggled up against the twenties in my pocket --

Aluminum - 4 lb @ 1.65 = $6.60
PET - 19 lb @ 1.33 = $25.27
Glass - 68 lb @ .105 = $7.14
Bimetal - 2.6 lb @ .38 = $0.99

Total = $40.00

Ma pettite char passed smog today. It's a 2009 Chevrolet HHR, which is officially classed by DMV as a "UT", which means that I get to pay $10 more for the test.

I didn't realize how anxious I was about passing the test until the relief I felt when it passed.

Congrats on passing :)
 
Tucker Carlson said on his show that cigar smoking is the most American of pleasures, which confirms my suspicion that he is a virgin.

Further -- Tucker went on to say that tobacco "built America". Well Virginia maybe, with the help of a million slaves.
 
Recycling today. I expected about $20 when I loaded up because I did not take all the glass.

Aluminum - 5 lb @ 1.65 = $8.25
PET - 17 lb @ 1.33 = $22.61
Glass - 13 lb @ 0.105 = $1.37

Total = $32.23
