Stogie

Stogie

Here is something else someone has decided to toss away (wherever “away” is). Found this stogie on one of my morning walks around my hotel. We see lots of cigarette butts but I don’t come across many used stogies. It’s isolation on the sidewalk set it apart. This image brings a question to mind, “Why do we think that tossing our trash to the ground means it will go away?”

I’m back in the air again as of yesterday. I’ve not been taking my laptop with me so I’m not on line as often. I do apologize to all of you who I follow or follow me if I’m not keeping up with the blogging.

Retired. Having fun shooting Fujifilm cameras. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku. Have a love for fountain pens.

    I was behind a mind in downtown. He was driving a BMW 325i. He was drinking a cup of coffee. When he finished it, he simply tossed it out of the window. I was angry immediately. How simple would it have been to keep the damn thing in the cup holder and tossed it when he got to work. People!

    I like your statement about ‘away’. I guess most people just think that away is out of sight, out of mind. Gone!

      I do my best not to let it upset my day when I see that happen. Yet, I can remember days when I did not have respect for our environment and trashed this world. Maybe the age thing is a cause. Anyway, all we can do is lead by example, showing the next generation how it should be done.
