since better with you was cancelled, i'm watching the loop, another cancelled show. it has a really odd theme song, by a band that only does songs about hockey, and it was written by the guy who writes american elf, one of the few webcomics i don't read.

Below is a list of the ten states that produce the most garbage per person in the United States. I am not proud to say my birth state, Indiana leads this shameful list, with Illinois following close behind. States that produced the most trash per person (per capita) in 2006 were:
Indiana: 2.15 tons/person/year
Illinois: 2.07 tons/person/year
The national average was 1.38 tons/person/year.
