Many memories of late...

How many times did I dump trash, How many times did I my car crash, How many times did I hide my stash, How many times did I in the ocean splash… Bottles dumped on the beach, With trashcans within easy reach, How many times did someone to me try to teach… I wish now I could go back to pick up that bottle, Or that plastic bag filled with garbage & trash, Now if I see the same I want to of that person throttle, If I didn’t drink and then dump, How much would I have saved in cold hard cash… © ed ~ 4/29/10

You would have saved a lot. I find beer cans not only recyle aluminum, but provide a down payment on my next six pack. And if save them up then my beer is free. It is a beautiful thing. Patrick

I used to rationalize littering by saying it gave the prisoners something to do. Without litter they would have to stay inside the jail all day.

Remember when you could walk for miles on the beach without seeing litter everywhere?

Merry Christmas...

We all got em''...

The Saggy, Baggy Boobs Blues,

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>

Rain, thunder & lightning, oh my...

Hey, I think I might have found a little humor...?

...NEAT...
