Ten things to ponder as you move through the summer days.
1) When a leaf blower blows the leaves (and trash) into the street, why isn't that littering?
2) When you're watching the week's big action flick and seeing some fiery explosion -- ask yourself what effect all those explosions have on the ozone?
3) Gym bunnies seem to bounce around everywhere in the summer -- or people who think they are g.b.s. Should someone tell the guys with the huge, overhanging, beer guts that tanks, with or without spaghetti straps, aren't a good look for them even when the t's read "Gold's Gym"?
4) Looking at the yards and lawns, notice how the flowers are planted out in direct sunlight. Since the greenest grass, as summer progresses, will be that under the trees, why aren't the flowers planted around the tree?
5) Looking at the asphalt parking lots and seeing not just weeds but also blades of grass poking up through the cracks, wonder why those will continue to sprout while tended lawns will go brown as summer moves along?
6) Does the cab driver trying to cut down his fuel cost really think any customer's buying "The a.c. is broken" excuse?
7) If the windows in the cab must be down, does it also mean that that the driver must shout across two lanes of traffic to another cab driver he or she happens to know?
8) The same warm sun you're thanking for drying you off after you emerge from the water is the one you're going to be cursing at in a half an hour as you moan about the heat.
9) What amazing, life changing story did you miss as you rushed past everyone to get to where ever?
10) On the first day of fall, no matter how you spend you these months, you're still going to be wondering where summer went?
