The FBI vs. the BFI

Posted on by

When I was young, much younger, say six years old, I used to be mesmerized by the traffic I saw out my car window.  Cars, trucks, you name it.  A waste company worked in my neighborhood called BFI and they picked up the trash.  They are all but gone now.  Then, their blue trucks puttered around emblazoned with the company logo.

It was about this time that I heard of the FBI, the G-men, from a TV show.

I recall, at that young age, one of BFI’s trucks on the street, passing us.  I stared at the garbage vehicle and wondered: Sheesh, can’t the FBI get a more inconspicuous vehicle?  I am like six, and I can spot ‘em a mile off. . .

Saving Gas

My neighborhood is haunted by a silver Prius.  Recently, I followed a stream of cars chugging along at 4 mph towards a red-light fifty feet away. The head car of our little caravan was the aforementioned Prius.  The driver was coasting to the light, no doubt giddy over all the gas she was saving.  But for us behind her, we had to brake suddenly to get in her line.  Any gas she saved, all the cars behind her surely lost.  (Don’t get me started on her driving performance at the same light this weekend. . .)
