$2783.50 / Radford, land of citrus beverage (sorry Katherine)

Fig. 1



Two hour bike rides give you plenty of time to think about and over-analyze stupid observations; hence I have decided to publish my research here.
Thesis: There is a strong correlation with caffeinated citrus flavored beverages and large angry trucks.

So far my data is somewhat patchy, and giving evidence to causality is probably still far in the future, and possibly several grants later for such an important scientific endeavor as this.

Fig.1 indicates the large spike in caffeinated-citrus-litter (CCL). Here we do not discern among popular brands, but it is worth noting there is a distinct change in brands from commuters from Blacksburg to Radford versus Radford and Christiansburg, interesting.



Fig. 2.







Fig. 2 is a highly precise graph of observations (notice scale on y-axis) of the strong occurrence of angry trucks and CCL along the side of road.

Fig. 1 also shows the abandoned (abandoned meaning 2 employees) Subway in Christiansburg that I filled my water bottle up at. The key is to just not make eye-contact with anyone. Walk-in, walk-out. It was brilliant.
