  1. But this means we’ll have to find other ways, beyond suffocation, to kill the Hollywood morons, when we all rise up and smite the beast!

    • I guess we’ll just need to smuggle in bags from Nevada or Oregon – so long as we evade the fruit inspection stations. When I first visited California in 1972 all cars had to stop at inspection stations to have their cars searched for fruit. It’s still illegal to bring fruit into California, but as I understand it only trucks have to stop at the current inspection stations.

      • The car inspection had ended by the time I moved to LA in 1981. I was just in time for the “low riders”.

        I loved the people I knew in LA. LA was just on another planet, an alternative universe, if you will, that took some adjustment for this Midwest boy.

  2. Wow Gerard, that’s fabulous. I wish they would adopt a bottle deposit in New Zealand – especially on the plastic ones. It’s sure been a long time coming. A few years ago, I was surprised to learned the current recycling trend was introduced by the bottling industry to prevent a deposit from being implemented. What cunning strategy.
