What If???

What IF?  What if people walked around actually gave a shit about what they see?  Isn't it amazing how much trash you see on the side of the road?  The pile of cigarette butts in the parking lot where someone just dumped the ash tray or just flicked it on the ground?  That mysterious pick up truck bed, trash eating monster?

Do you know there's an island of plastic out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?  Just shit that "we" have made damn sure didn't go into a landfill.  Loads of illegal dump sites around the Nation.  Folks, I'm no tree huger but I would like to see the planet last a little while longer.  So here's my challenge to you.

What if, tomorrow when you go to work, or stop by the gas station or the grocery store as you walk to the door you stop and pick up one piece of trash.  Maybe a cigarette butt, yes I'm a smoker, I know how nasty those things are.  WHAT IF?  What if everyone reading this does it?  Don't have a lot of readers but last count there were over 15000 clicks from over thirty different countries!!!  WHAT IF?  What if someone saw you and you simply stated, "just trying to do my part"?  What if you said something like, "this place looks so much better when it's clean"?

WHAT IF?  What if the person who saw you did the same thing?  What if someone saw them do it?  I'm not saying we can clean the world but if you pay it forward, you just might sleep a little better.

FT Thomas

 Ok boys and girls I'm currently in the great city of Ft. Thomas, KY.  I'm busy as a bee getting treatment at the VA Domiciliary here.  I've been here since the 7th of June and must say that I find Ft. Thomas to be a quaint little town.  They are celebrating 150 years and have done some really nice things to commemorate the anniversary.

However, during the Forth of July parade, the city in all of it's wisdom decided to take down the American Flag.  The one you see to the right.  It's a real beautiful sight, I'd say it's 100-150ft high, Flag is proportionate to the pole, and for what ever reason the City decides to take it down over the Forth.

I don't know if it was maintenance on the pole or they replaced the Flag.  But for whatever reason it went down and did not make it back up until after the holiday.  That was an extremely poor decision and a prime example of the Five P's.  Prior Planning Prevents Piss-poor Performance!!!

Not only did that reprehensible act occur but someone, somewhere along the chain of command here allowed one of the floats/vehicles to fly the Mexican flag in a Mother Fucking American Independence Day Parade.  It's the Fucking Forth of July for God's Sake, not Fucking cinco de mayo.  As shown in the other pic.  I appologize for which, my phone doesn't have the best camera.

Again, I am new to the area; however, one can rest assured that I will be contacting the Mayor of this great little city, along with any Council Members they may have.  If I don't get a proper response, I'll go further up the food chain.

Sorry for the tardiness of this post.  I've been very busy as of late.  You can always drop me your thoughts on this @   dsgajewski@gmail.com

I'll keep you posted!
