Litterbugs Extraordinaire

Yesterday when I left S.A.I.N.T.S. it was still fairly light out. I was glad because I wanted to see if I could get a decent photo of a group of Eagles that have been hanging around the river. The Eagles weren't there so I made my way back to the van. Something in the grass median across the highway caught my eye.


Hmmm, looks like an empty milk jug, right? On closer inspection....


Nope. That's not Apple Juice!

It's something I see about every 1/2 mile littered on both sides of the highway, including the medians.

Lazy ass semi truck drivers piss in the empty milk jugs, more than once as evidenced in the above photo, then toss them out. This has been going on since I can remember. Not sure what containers they used before the big plastic jugs came along.

WTF?

Is there really such a sense of urgency to get to their destination that they can't pull off the road and urinate in the bushes, like everyone else? ( come oooon, you have so peed in the bushes!! ) And, if they really can't stop and pee, then why the fuck can't they put the jugs in garbage cans at the gas stations or their destinations?? Why do they have to completely and utterly ugly up the highways?

I think I'm going to write a "letter to the editor" to every newspaper in B.C. and CC that to every semi trucking company in Canada. It just disgusts me.

Here's a photo I took of the sunset behind the mountains. I sure miss seeing the sun set along the line of the earth. Much more magnificent.
