The Man in the Black Sunglasses

At least three times in the last two weeks, approximately 50 pallets of red and white wine have been delivered and destroyed to Bridgewater Resources Inc. on Polhemus Drive in an 18-wheeler truck. It's interesting to watch a river of red and white waste itself into the nearest gutter drain and the 25,000 some-odd glass bottles pulverize into the other garbage instead of tripping down the street to the recycling center. It's interesting to see a man in black sunglasses take as many digital photos over the course of the 10 minutes it takes to complete and to respond to what's going on with: all I can tell you is I'm supposed to see it destroyed; it's government related.

How? I wonder. Maybe huge stocks were tempered incorrectly? Maybe the overstock is regularly demolished by two bulldozers within minutes of a set of 3 pallets hitting the ground. Not the type of thing you donate but how is the project manager not prepared with a response along the lines of the stock being spolied? Where do the drains at the dump flow into?

Dumps by nature are typically shady places with guard-dogs and razor wire and being surrounded by billowing factories out of Mad Max but come on.
