Cans come with a 10-cent deposit in Michigan, so after a few months of hauling trash bags full of sticky bottles back to Prevo’s, our neighborhood grocery store, we had a couple hundred dollars, enough to hire a local muralist to paint the school’s mascot, the Blair Bobcat, on our gym wall. The press seem surprised that I was considered an “asset” as a fundraiser for Peter’s campaign, but the fact is I’m a seasoned pro.
