Decided to finally take my accumulated pile of flattened cardboard boxes to the Berkeley recycling center north of town. I'd been procrastinating because the pieces were huge — some big TV boxes, triple-flute furniture boxes and my bike shipping packaging. Flattened out they were still bigger than what a typical car could handle — I'd have to rent a pickup truck, or so I thought. Convertible Smart Car to the rescue — with the roof retracted it was ideal for carrying the big stuff. So the driving visibility was severely limited out one side — I made sure I could get there without needing to make any righthand turns!
