Wow...talk about a "Who Done It" kind of story. Brother, you sure come up with some odd stuff..LOL

What I found most interesting is how the original amount of money found keeps getting lower. Seems all the "Officials" are taking a cut of the booty, and by the time those guys get to trial the will be about $50 left.

Yep...the stuff is a plague. No doubt the chemists thought they had a real miracle substance on their hands when it was first invented. Little did they know it would become the scourge of the planet.

Made a visit to Israel back in '99, and plastic water bottles littered the landscape everywhere, especially in the Mount Carmel desert area. My friend, his sons and I went for a hike in that area, and there wasn't much litter except for water bottles strewn about everywhere.

I was trying to think of a way to get through one day (1) without touching plastic. It's impossible...I'd never get past brushing my teeth, or the plastic cup by the sink, or the plastic box that holds the daily meds..and that's just in the first two minutes after waking up.

It can be re-purposed and recycled, but once made it will never go away.

Maybe if a person was very selective on the gear, containers, etc …. And in an isolated environment, such as out camping somewhere remote 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thought about that, and even then it'd be near impossible. Have to start fire with flint/steel..no Bic lighters allowed, the knob on the propane stove is plastic..have to cook in an iron skillet with a wood handle, the buttons on your shirt..the list is endless.

Couple thousand years from now (if man is still alive), the last 300 years leading up to now will not be looked upon kindly.

In the spirit of Mr. White..
