In Michigan, we have a 10¢ deposit on cans and bottles. They're refunded by feeding empties into a machine that counts them up. But there are never enough machines, so a line forms. And right now I'm watching 7 dopes inspect each container individually before feeding it into the machine.

If you're interested in some insight:

As a humans eyes get older, the ability for the eyes pupil to dilate and constrict quickly diminishes.

What this means practically is that moving from a sunny area into a lower lighted area makes it difficult to perceive much in front of the human. Perhaps even you! In an attempt to collide with other humans, the human with older eyes will pause to allow their older eyes to adjust to the lower light, thereby proceeding forward safely.

The cool thing is, this will happen to you.

Prepare your karma appropriately.

Good hunting!
