Spring-a-leak has a subsidised recycling service being performed by one of the several trash haulers. They have compartmented trucks for collecting the sorted recycling. They still collect glass - clear glass separate from coloured (green and/brown) glass. It then is dumped into a big old crusher/grinder and the result sent off to a glass plant to use as feed stock for their manufactory. Some of the crushed/ground coloured glass winds up as aggregate in paving asphalt. DD> But even the indoor theatres are getting scarce, done in by Netflix, DD> Peacock and other streaming services.

I dynno about you but my TeeVee (which I seldom watch) is a "smart" TV and will connect to the internet to stream shows from Amazon or Netflix, etc. I'm probably considered odd in that I don't use TV for a medium of entertainment - preferring to read a good book.

Coat a 9" X 5" loaf pan with cooking spray. Put the turkey, onion, breadcrumbs, celery, egg, 2 tablespoons ketchup, the parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Mix with your hands until just combined, then transfer to the prepared pan.

Meanwhile, make the mashed potatoes. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water; season with salt. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, then return to the saucepan and mash with the butter. Add the milk and season with salt and pepper; continue mashing until fluffy. Put the peas in a microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle with water and season with salt and pepper. Cover and microwave until warmed through, about 4 minutes. Serve the meatloaf with the peas and mashed potatoes. * https://tinyurl.com/T-V-TRAYZ RECIPE FROM: http://www.desktopcookbook.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
