5,000 cans of beer

Shouldn't take but an hour or so to clean that mess up.

People are losing their heads over this.

“KCAL estimated that up to 5,000 cans of beer had been strewn across the road.” That’s inhumane.

5,000 cans of beer had been strewn across the road

It's a miracle, like the loaves and the fishes.

Why do these things NEVER HAPPEN WHEN I’M AROUND?...............

No loss if they’re carrying Bud Light.

No kidding...and taking that career arc course while employed by the SF Chronicle, as Freeper Worldtraveler once upon a time posted, with a circulation of 500,000 in 2000 to 60,000 today!

To paraphrase a line of dialogue from one of my favorite movies, Master and Commander:

The second time he told me a story...about how Pete Hegseth called all the flag officers in the military to a central location to read them the riot act to their faces. And he wrote an article titled "Pete Hegseth is f--king embarrassing" in which he wrote it was disrespectful and wasteful, and trotted out the old Leftist tropes about him drinking on the job and such.

I know it sounds absurd, and were it from another man, you'd cry out "Oh, what pitiful stuff' and dismiss it as mere Leftism.

But when you heard it was from the SF Chronicle, whose circulation has dropped from 500,000 to 60,000...you felt your heart glow."

A vision from the 210 in Irwindale, looking south from the 210 Freeway to ....

Since the amount of beer was expressed one way -- 5,000 cans -- here's another. About 84 six-packs. Reported that way, it doesn't sound quite as exceptional a news story.

Six-pack a day for one Miller drinker, and less than a three month supply.

Less than a thousand bucks, retail. :)

When I cleaned up truck wrecks for a living these were the “good” wrecks to clean up. These actually happen a lot. The landfill disposal fees are pretty cheap on these wrecks because not much makes it to the landfill... lol

As a craft beer lover, what I cared about most was if it was good beer or swill. Article doesn’t say.
