Hey, this reminds me of...

Today, when we were riding along Ranch Road 334 or 337, I don't recall which, Heidi said
"Hey, this sort of reminds me of China, all the litter".
The difference, I think, is that in China they seemed to just throw it on the ground (and usually, there would be a plethora of people with homemade brooms sweeping it all up, eventually)
But in America, or at least on the Ranch Roads in TX, a lot of the roadside litter comes from the beds of pickup trucks traveling at 60 or 70 miles per hour (the speed limit on most of the "small" roads is 70). So throw that box in the back; it'll just fly out later, don't you worry.
It's not really "littering", right?

Then, a little later, when we switched from hilly and desert-like to hilly and green I said
"Hey! This reminds me of WI!"
Esp areas like Chaseburg, Viroqua etc
Texas Hill Country, I suppose...
