Debate Over Plastic Bags Heats Up In Seattle
Source: www.npr.org
In an effort to reduce plastic and paper waste, Seattle’s city council imposed a 20-cent-per-bag charge last year. But the American Chemistry Council helped fund a petition drive that forced the issue to a city-wide ballot that is coming up on Aug. 18.
Ahh, the American Chemistry Council. The newest addition to Matt’s Almanac of Bastardry.

Pittsburgh’s Morse Code Message Gets Jumbled
Source: www.npr.org
Every night since March 1929, a bright, red beacon has flashed on the Pittsburgh skyline. In Morse code, the beacon spells the city’s name. But graduate student Tom Stepleton noticed over the Fourth of July that it spelled “Pitetsbkrrh” instead. And a week later, it changed again.
Well, that does it. Ames needs a beacon. And hopefully, I can finally live in a town named “Tpebtsaurgh.”
