Not enough mountains around here, that’s what’s keeping me back! You don’t wanna go riding off into the mud flats of the river delta, nosirree… that’s a lotta miles with people standing around watching you and saying, “Daggone, man, he must be, what, four or five miles down the road. Oh, look, he stopped to catch his breath again. Well, gettin’ dark, best we go home. He’ll be out of sight by morning, I reckon.”
Heh. Notice the qualifier about whether or not to borrow the books?
Hubris has a heart of gold, to help out with a mess like that.
Also maybe just a touch of being neighborly to offset Paste?
Lol. I’ve been ready to do that several times in the last few years.
Wrapped in plastic. Just like the camping rations Cranky preferred to not eat. What can plastic NOT do?
biodegrade
There are some, grocery bags, that were made to do so. However if you used them for something else (like bagging individual strings of Christmas lights) they turn into the worst mess in a few years. Trust me…
Plastic can biograde just fine if it wants to. It just doesn’t want to.
I guess, the last information to make that decision was: “they are wrapped in plastic”.
so in translation “they are not filthy and stinky”
so now Hubris would LOVE to read them lol
hubris will find the books and other things he will then decide to borrow in exchange the old guy gets his bunker finished cleaning with hubris helping at last
I notice he is topside with the soapy buckets. Charity hath it’s limits!
