"Rolling Video Games" Trailer = Awesome!

It's official, I wish I could be 13 years old forever. Today I had the opportunity to dilly dally around in a "Rolling Video Games" trailer.

A recycling truck with Spokane Solid Waste Management hit the roof of the railroad bridge on Napa near Trent Ave. this morning, when one of its bins raised above the 12 foot and 2 inch limit.

"We don't know if it was a mechanical or driver error for it to raise up while it was driving," Alan Milson, refuse supervisor said. He continued, "We don't have a lot of backup on those trucks. We would have to get it extensive repairs unless it's too much. We'll have our garage look at it."
