We were driving down the highway a couple of days ago and saw what looked
like a recycle bin that exploded. At least the stuff will biodegrade but...
There were papers everywhere! Didn't seem to be all the same thing either
so we couldn't fathom it. There were several large piles in the double turn
lane but they extended over into my lane, the lanes going the other way and
even some yards. The papers went on for a couple of blocks.
