Roadside Litter Death-Grip? Uh, oh.


You've read my rants on Poppy's Velo Ventures about picking up massive amounts of roadside litter.  I've found and discarded all manner of trash: bottles, cans, cigarette boxes, firecrackers, children's toys, shirts, shoes, fast food, even a five dollar bill!  Actually, I kept and spent the five-spot.

But THIS thing .. yipes.  A death message it seems.  Sure did get my attention.

The empty litre bottle of vodka is super-bottom shelf brand.  Just what a litter king would swig, swallow and discard.  The work glove, on the other hand, is a serious professional tool. And the guy who lost that must be kicking himself -- nicely broken in and costly to replace.

What if, (uh, oh) the dude with the glove did a bottoms-up on the vodka? And then he (tipsy, angry, confused) stepped into an oncoming car and, pow, curtains?

Drinking and driving don't mix.  Drinking and work gloves don't mix. Remember that.
