Front Line: The Gas Station

We’ve all seen them, passenger cars loaded with the trash that accumulates over miles of highway commuter travel, long road trips or just the daily stop for coffee on the way to the train station. Makes you wonder whether slobs are good drivers or bad; or whether there’s any correlation at all. Experience tells you that most car interiors are kept on the neater side of the line.
Then you encounter a spectacle like this one. This motor vehicle was jam-packed with garbage, the rubbish commonly referred to as “household trash.” Judging from just a quick look, it appeared to have been piled up bit by bit, too — one newspaper, one hamburger wrapper, one dropped French fry, one Big Gulp, one Dunkin’ Donut box at a time. I wish I had stayed long enough to see the driver emerge from the snack shop.
