They must have some good eyes to see one sunflower shell coming out the window.

If that is considered littering there is a HUGE litter problem around every ballfield I've been too in this area. And to think the child I raised as a tree-hugger is one of the worst culprits during softball season *sniff*.

Crap, you should see the area under my bird feeder.

Someone needs to inform these folks the landfill is not on the shoulder of Rousby Hall Road.

I understand he had a job to do and that littering is illegal. We are at ball a lot so eating them is something we do without thinking. I just have to eat one at a time. I think the law is something more along nothing gets thrown out of a moving vehicle.
The whole time though, I was wondering why I can't get any of them in my neighborhood (Carrington in Waldorf, drug capital) to stop some of the crap going on in there. Also, if I'm littering, why can't the health dept. come out after years of calling and get my neighbors to haul some of the trash out of their property thats horrible.

Was that just a guess or is this a well know trash road?

You must live in Lusby. I see trash bags laying on the side of the road all the time.

The cop was being excessive which now makes him BMOC (Big Man On Campus) or perhaps BMOP (Big Man On Patrol) and you were an easy target. No justice.
