Not as bad as what he’s seen, so he said. He’s been in almost every major city.

@DianneN When we drove through Indiana, there was paper and junk all along the highway! I wanted to cry, it looked so terrible.

He should have known it wouldn't be all that nice about this time due to all the fires they've been dealing with.

Maybe not smoky but those fires leave a lot to be cleaned up. This goes on every year on the west coast, they have been getting major droughts.

I have no idea. Perhaps many slobs live there and can’t be responsible to use a trash receptacle. That or lack of money.

Even if there isn’t a garbage can nearby, people should hang onto it until they see one instead of throwing it on the sidewalk or road. Disgusting!

@DianneN i agree. and i'm always thinking how can they do that? why didn't their parents teach them that they're not supposed to do that? plus their kids will probably act like them and throw trash wherever they want and so on... sad.

Dinner by the ocean is always nice. A friend of mine celebrated her re-enlistment by taking some friends, including me, to a beachside restaurant in Waikiki. Heck, a sub tastes better by the ocean!!

Some people just do not care and want others to clean up after them. Cannot understand their attitude - how tough it should be for their family to live with them! Lovely couple!!!
