Here's to You Mrs. Robinson...AARGH !

Here are the white plastic pipes I found on the sidewalk. It seems odd to think that in a movie in 1967, the word plastics was uttered in the same hushed tones we quote Warren Buffet today.

Today I picked up five of them on the sidewalk. The Plasticene advances.
