Its Like Sitting In A Giant Ashtray!!!!

[BigFish]

I hate going to the beach now.....and just sitting I mean, you know, on a blanket and watching the kids play! You get there....walk on and carry all your stuff out to find a nice spot........but there ain't any nice spots cause' the freakin' beach is littered with cigarette butts from all of the ignorant smokers who treat the beach like their own personal "giant ashtray"!!!!!! The butts blow across the sand....they stick to your feet....you are trying to build a sand castle with the kids but...hey! There is a cigarette butt wedged in the side of your castle!!!!! You know the BOWLS outside of all of the public buildings and restaurants that are just filled to capacity with smouldering cigarette butts????? Yeah....thats pretty much what I feel like when I am sitting at the beach "TRYING" to enjoy the day!!!! Like I am sitting inside one of those giant ashtrays!!!!

Smoke away folks......smoke away!

it amazes me how people just toss these things EVERYWHERE. i mean some people who would never consider littering will just throw these burning things just about anywhere.

[BigFish]

Yeah...and they don't think twice about it! They might just as well be throwing a bag of garbage.....its the same thing! Every time I go by one of those smouldering vats of cigarette butts outside if like a supermarket or a Dunkin Donuts (which is also great for us non-smokers) I want to drop my draws and piss all over the smouldering bucket just to make it stop!!!

indecent exposure bigfish and putting yourself at risk for fines or freedoms

so it would be better to bring a jar of piss with you and ceremoniously

pour it over the stinky mess to extinguish the smoldering offensive butts.

in california they have these beach sifter vehicles that pick up and

redistribute sifted "clean sand" back onto the beach..... real nice...

its what we need here.... i used to drive over a hundred miles to find


a secluded beach.... without all that pollution.... rare find now....

kills me to see people at the turn around signal lights dumping their

full astrays out the window as if the street is their personal dump...

and the people who are walking into department stores think nothing

of taking their last few drags before entering and then just tossing it still

lit at the entrance of the store.... it's illegal and not enforced daily.

[capesams]

the trash is bad these day's I will say......but the worst offender's are the kid's/parent's that let their kid's dig BIG hole's in the beach, then at the end of their stay get up and leave without filling them in...then your running the beach at nite, watching for bait,skunk anything to give you a hint that fish maybe there.....BANG! your front end just went in a 4' hole and your streering wheel has your face print on it.

[BigFish]

Yeah Steve...I have fallen into a few of them holes myself!
