Bright and early this morning I noticed a car had pulled into the far end of the clear spot I'm camped in. It was far enough away that I didn't mind sharing. I man got out and just stood there for a while. Then he walked a little into the creosote bushes. What was he doing? He picked something up. I immediately recognized it: a blue Keystone Lite box. Then he picked up another. Somehow I had missed those two. I returned to my business. I looked out a little later and he was gone. Had he come just to pick up trash? If so, maybe he was disappointed that someone (me) had beat him to it.
Well done. Thank you. You are in good company; David Sedaris does the same thing when he goes for his daily walks.
ReplyDeleteI also have found that litter is often cheap beer and liquor. And junk food. I assume the common factor is lack of impulse control.
ReplyDeleteI did find some microbrew cans once and remember being surprised.
