Some guy in our neighborhood is fond of drinking no-name vodka and smoking cheap little cigars. He has another nasty little habit — he litters a lot.
We know this because Leah decided to turn a stroll today into a little community service. For a long time she's been frustrated by the trash piled up on the side of the main road into our little part of town. It gives off such a classy vibe when entering the subdivision.
I carried the garbage bag, she scooped up the papers and candy wrappers and soda cans. Then I found an empty fifth of vodka, some really cheap label I've never heard of before. And a few feet later I found another. And then another one.
We only cleaned up a one-block section, but we must have picked up more than a dozen vodka bottles and at least three fifths of brandy. Occasionally the empties were accompanied by a box of some sort of tacky flavored cigars.
We could only come up with a few theories. High schoolers having a little party. Some depressed dude drinks in his car a lot. Or this side of the road just happens to be the perfect place to hide the evidence before beginning a nice night of drunk driving. Any ideas?

I think that there's a race of drunken mole-people living in the sewer below your street. When they're done with their mole-people-brand Vodka (hence your never hearing of it before), they thrust their trash UPWARDS, onto the streets above.
Yeah - I have an idea: Stake out the locale and get the answer to the riddle. Complete with surveillance gear - camera, black ski mask, and a cheesesteak to pass the time. Deal? O.K. Beats playing poker via some makeshift internet setup.
