Plastic moving boxes versus the hillside
Camas streets like to climb, and driveways here can tilt in ways that make a stack of cardboard slide into legend. Rigid plastic boxes with locking lids stay shut on an incline, carry predictably up the steep front steps older houses favor, and roll on the hand truck wherever the grade allows. The hill goes back to being scenery instead of an adversary. Downhill is its own hazard with cardboard; with locking lids it is just gravity doing some of the work.
