    People call that “rain.”

      That’s an offensive term. It prefers gravity-challenged water.

    I’m personally liking that radioactive trashcan. Very nice.

      I guess you didn’t read the recent article “Decatur’s purchases flux capacitor recycling bins.” Here’s a snippet…

      “Last week, Decatur was the first metro Atlanta city to install of what’s being dubbed new “flux capacitor” recycling bins on Decatur Square.

      “Residents were just so jazzed by the compactor bins near Starbucks and Yogurt Tap that we felt that this was the next logical step.” said Mayor Bill Floyd, before adding, “One point twenty one gigawatts!!”

      Each flux capacitor bin powers a different government-owned building in the city. But helping with the city’s power bill doesn’t seem to be the main motivation for using the bin for many residents so far.

      “I just think it’s cool how the trash vaporizes!”, said the 8 year-old son of one local resident, in-between licks of childless couples utensils in a popular Decatur watering hole.

      But not everyone is thrilled with the innovation. “I certainly appreciate the extra revenue,” said a local bookshop owner, “but it’s really hard for me to sell books to people who just go outside and throw them into one of the city’s flux capacitor cans, just to see what will happen. Our trade paperback sales are through the roof, I just wish people were reading the books. Or at least not disposing of them in front of me!”

        I always think of the flux capacitor when walking up Clairmont towards the square- the Courthouse clock spins me back to the future every time!
