Cigarette Butts & Surfrider Foundation

You don't like to kiss butt, so why would I like to live in it?

Litter Statistics, according to The Surfrider Foundation:

• In just one day 230,000 cigarette butts were collected from California beaches during the 2000 Coastal Cleanup Day. Cigarette butts were the number one trash item found (http://www.cigarettelitter.org).
• According to the Ocean Conservancy, cigarette butt litter accounts for one in every five items collected during cleanups, making it the most prevalent form of litter on earth.
• There are over 176,000,000 pounds of discarded cigarette butts in the United States each year.
• Over 4.5 trillion cigarettes are littered worldwide each year. They are the most littered item in the world (http://www.cigarettelitter.org).

Smoking, Picking Nose, and Driving!

What Were You Doing When You Should Have Been Driving?

So I look over to the right hand lane to view a wonderful multi-tasker. This son-of-a-gun is smoking a cigarette with his finger up his nostril and driving a vehicle at the same time. I cant really comment on his cognitive ability, but he looked as though he was in a deep mental trance. Thinking? I am unsure.

Oh the fun! We must laugh at the wonderful things we as humans do.

"Evil Nude Ladies

A Lady Driver and Driving!

What Were You Doing When You Should Have Been Driving?

So, I glance over at the lady driving next to me and think "wow," this lady looks like Anna Nicole Smith. I look away to check where I am driving, one doesn't want to stare to long. Out of my peripheral vision I see some commotion so I glance a second time, just-in-time to see this lady open her top and drop her lap dog into it! I laughed loud and hard, and I haven't stopped laughing!

What next folks? What else can people do while they are driving?

Keep checking back!

Chicken Tikka Masala by Loyd Grossman

What Were You Doing When You Should Have Been Driving?

I admit it! I was checking out Loyd Grossman's Chicken Tikka Masala.

My mother turned me on to this store called MNM Foods in Mineral Wells Texas which carries Loyd's curry sauces. There is a cultural story all in itself. I usually make my own sauces, but my mother (an awesome cook) highly recommended Loyd's sauce, so I eagerly accepted the challenge of putting Loyd's sauce to the test.

Last night I put Loyd's sauce to the test! Loyd Grossman's Chicken Tikka Masala sauce is divine!
I have a second jar of Loyd's Madras sauce and I can't wait to experience it! Absolutely Awesome...
