The Recycles of Trashmont, Texas

          The Recycle family of Trashmont, Texas are proud of their origins, bless their little green hearts. Nothing new in their makeup and they want the world to know it - plastic shampoo bottles, pants hangers from the cleaners, bits of old clothes and knee-hi hose, medicine bottle cotton. Oh, and papier maché made of the Houston Chronicle, no less, with stale graham crackers, or some really bad "Mexican pasta" we picked up in Oklahoma. Okay, the acrylic paint and the kitty litter ballast are not recycled. But the statement that comes with each one is printed on recycled paper.
