   Yeah, it’s an American thing. We get next to no time off and even then we’re afraid to take what little time off that we get. Employers here LIKE to have us fearful and over worked.People I worked with from the UK get like a guaranteed 6 weeks off and 2 more weeks on top of that if the employer is good. That’s how they can spend time in Spain or the Caribbean.Sometimes I really wish I’d been born in a different country. Ours is so messed up.

   Not around here. Turkey vultures are almost the same size as bald eagles, and they gather fairly quickly. 8 or 10 of them outnumber anything else that wants to get near a deer carcass. Bald eagles are big but they are more solitary. I’ve seen an eagle do a snatch and grab for something small that’s dead on the road but I’ve never seen one challenge the vultures. Maybe that’s just in Virginia.

   Eagles have no issues with road kill. They just have to get to it before the turkey vultures do.

   Bald is better than a comb over. Bald can be darn right sexy.

   No, teens were doing it way before that movie came out. Some still do. I’m sure they were doing it when there were horse drawn buggies and they’ll be doing it some more centuries from now. It’s like a developmental stage. They get to live to be smarter if they survive their own stupidity.

   Of course not!

   All I am saying is that some single use plastics are here to stay and there’s no alternative to them – at this point.It would be better if we didn’t treat the world as our trash heap.There’s no where left to put it.

   Very true.

   Think about your average grocery store.

   Do you think we’ll ever go back to wrapping meat in paper? Probably not.

   Everyone wants to see what they are buying and clear plastic wrap does the job and keeps meat juices from getting onto everything else.

   Don’t even get me started about condoms.

   Definitely don’t want to use those more than once.

   Plastic is everywhere and we’re all drowning in it.

    Plastic straws are easy, disposable single use plastic.

    Unfortunately, people will continue to use them as long as they are available.

    But you don’t have to.

    You can learn to drink without a straw or if you really need one, buy some metal straws, carry them around with you, and wash them out with a long narrow brush every so often.

    Same thing with plastic cutlery.

    Carry your own metal fork/spoon with you and wash them at the end of the day.
