Sunday Stroll

The sabbath was freakishly beautiful this weekend. Some of my cousins came up and I heard my Aunt Cathy mention that she would like to go for a walk. I agreed to go on such an adventure and decided to take a couple of plastic grocery bags with us to fill with trash. My Pop tried to give me a large garbage bag and I said we'd be alright with the little bags. I totally underestimated the amount of garbage on our road. The plan was to walk a half-mile out and then turn around and come home. Both of the bags were full before we even reached a quarter-mile.

"Some Asshole really likes Rally's," Cathy said.

Someone out there finishes their fast food meal about 50 feet before our driveway and pitches it out the window. Thanks Scumbag!

Next Sunday I'm taking the Garbage Bag in tow.

Bring him a 5-gallon jug of that oily deliciousness while he's on tour and you can see his show for zero dollars. If that ain't cool...I just don't know what is anymore.
