Down the hill on a chili morning with the Surly and Travoy combination to run a couple errands. First stop is a mailbox to send back a Netflix DVD. Second is at Fred Meyers to drop off a bag of plastic bags, they seem to accept plastic film. At the site of Freddy’s bottle return center they installed a Bottle Drop center, where prepared bags filled with deposit bottles can be dropped off and counted for me. Thet way, I don’t have to drive about 4 miles and risk waiting up to 15 minutes for a machine to feed it one bottle at a time, oh, and not too fast.
So for $0.55 a 20 pound bag, I can ride my bike, use the trailer, and still get most of my deposits back.

That’s what the non-human interface with Bottle Drop looks like.
Then it up to my neighborhood Starbucks for a brew. Bring the Travoy trailer inside, keep the bike in sight, take a more traditional coffeeuering photograph. Kudos to the the Showers Pass waterproof gloves, they keep my hands warm on this 44º clear morning with an east wind from the interior.
Happy Sunday.
