I'm surprised Oregon has instituted something like that, especially considering the bottle bill, and how long that's been in effect here.<BR/><BR/>Connie, thank you for contributing to this post!

I save lots of stuff for art projects.<BR/><BRNana Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04847277796248616365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581604487566450665.post-58251758894671133422008-08-10T10:03:00.000-07:002008-08-10T10:03:00.000-07:00Oh!
