That one's not dumb.

The Astros didn't trade Ryan. They lost him outright. Seems that his contract
ran out. The Astros wanted him to take a pay cut! Ryan was (rightly) offended,
and decided to go elsewhere where he could get more respect.

This one was a bonehead move by John McMullen, pure and simple - and one of
many. I was not sorry at all to see him sell the team.

Reuse is recycling in its purest form.

It's not that simple. An adequate amount of paper packing can weigh many
times more than an equivalent amount of styrofoam. Someone then must burn
more fuel transporting said package. It's not an insignificant issue,
considering the amount of fuel the freight industry uses.

I hate those little styrofoam peanuts that are used to pack fragile items.
We have several vendors that insist upon using them when they send me valves
and such and I'm always stuck with what to do with the afterward.  They blow
around the warehouse and I hate to throw them away so I just save them and
use them over again by sending things out packed with the recycled peanuts.

Presently I have two large boxes of them and am tempted to send both boxes
back to my vendors with a note asking for either paper or real popcorn packing.

I'll bet if I put them in a big pile someplace (away from wind) and dumped
some acetone on them they'd go away.

Houston just signed a contract with Champion for Champion to buy all
of the paper Houston can possibly collect.  Currently, the city is picking up
plastic, glass, and newspaper as part of the curbside recycling program.
If they aren't actually recycling the plastic, why do they pick it up and
put it in special compartment of their trucks?  And, why are they so picky 
about the types of plastic they pick up.  I see them looking at it and 
rejecting some of the plastic I put out there.

Neither I nor anyone else is responsible for what I post.  It may be generally
considered hogwash, nonsense, and dribble.

Just like a good sourdough!

Well, I'm not sure about that.  But they'd pack down pretty well.  (:
