BE: "list of things to keep alert for, ambush by rolling aluminum"

[alice wellintown]

Jeez, I don't know...but maybe P will have a Vet from Bush Ones Desert
Storm pushing an aluminum  shopping cart full of onions or aluminum cans.
Why not? Seems as plausable as anything anyone else here has come up with.
Aluminum is expensive because of the energy required to process it and so,
for this reason and others, the commodity is processed where energ is
cheap, so the US does a ton of recycling, though with the recent energy
boom in the US...well, and if P, as is his habit, palimsests the ostensible
setting on to our own...well Alcoa's earnings have set the tone, profits
up, revenue down, workers out of work, rolling cans is, and has been a big
business in manhattan, modern day scriveners who prefer not to 9-to-5, and,
maybe, maybe they need meds, and maybe charity is all they need. All you
need is the greatest of these is ....charity.
