Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh? No, there was no challenge. Madison did something bad (late hit?) on the previous play that gave GB 1st down.

Naw, that foot that came down in the white was the third foot down, if you know what I mean, not the second.

I've managed to get al the bags I use for grocery shopping for free, so they are a mixed lot of sizes. Lots of business conferences give out the canvas bags, I had a computer industry friend that had a box full.

Our wings are not tired.

I have a bag I carry in the car for my almost daily quick grocery runs. The big trips I end up with plastic, but I don't let them bag all the stuff that doesn't need a bag. I should get a few more bags and be done with the plastic, but I also use some for pet matters.

We have decent recycling here. We generate huge amounts of paper waste at the office and we take that directly to the county recycle center and they pay us for it. $100 a ton shredded, $60 a ton unshredded. I don't bother to shred for $40 a ton, because that is a whole lot of shredding.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I saw that, but I heard the announcers discussing whether or not the foot was in. I agree that it was the third foot.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I always insist I get three bags for every individual item I buy at the supermarket. An then I go home and burn each bag separately.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

This is going to be close.

But I've happily learned that the reusable bags hold more than the regular shopping bags and they're easier to carry. The handles are long enough that I can carry one like a shoulder bag.

I < heart > my new reusable grocery bags! They can hold a crapton -- I got two two-liter bottles of soda and milk in there one day. I love them so much I also bought one from Target! I was pretty proud of myself until I saw some suburban mom with six of them one day. She was serious about it!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have a reusable grocery bag thanks to Kat--she brought me one of my hospital care packages in one. It lives in the car, and I try and keep shopping down to one of those per trip as often as possible. However I do use disposable shopping bags to hold my recyclables, so they're not eliminated entirely.
