Bag Ban Postscript

The rural northern CA area in which the DrsC spend spring and fall is near the college town where we were employed for decades. That town, at which we do our shopping, is the classically liberal pastiche of students, aging hippies, civil servants, rural pot farmers, tree huggers, meth cookers, and lefty profs. Plus people who arrived from urban CA as undergraduates, fell in love with small town/university chic, reluctantly graduated, but refused to leave the area.

As reported earlier, a referendum to repeal the statewide ban on plastic grocery bags has been qualified for the 2016 CA ballot. Independently of the now-suspended CA ban, our hippy-dippy town has had its own ban in effect since Jan. 1. Repealing the statewide ban will leave the local ban in force, unfortunately. 

The Murphy of Murphy's Law famously works overtime and weekends. How else to explain this folly? Talk about a pain!

N.B., Our "small" town in CA has more population per the Census Bureau than Cheyenne, the largest city in WY.
