Those printer cartridges

[question everything]

The way they wrap and wrap them (I am talking Epson's) one needs one of those "jaws of life" to wrestle the tiny cartridge. Scissors alone won't do.

And, I do collect the pouches to mail the spent cartridges for recycling. Problem is, ever since 9/11, the opening of the mail boxes is so tiny that I have to go inside the post office.

Several years ago I went to a post office and the person looked at me as if I was handling her some soil diapers, or something. I just left it there, wondered whether they called the bomb squad to dispose of this.

Still, as long as the post office has a stand with all the pouches going to Recycling Center in Franklin, TN, I will fill and give them to the U.S. postal service.
