Bottles, Circumcision, Plastic Bags, Happy Meals and the Unclothed

Hello there! It's a treat to see you. It really is. Thanks for spiraling down out of cyberspace for a peek at today's blog, a fresh mug of coffee and a virtual doughnut, pastry or muffin. Why the heck not, eh! Everyone deserves a break and a little sweetness in their life, right? Here's a job that would entail a lot of debate, I am sure...

San Francisco's activist Board of Supervisors, among the boldest in the USA to rid their cities of obnoxious goods and services, added disposable plastic water bottles to the list in March (to join circumcision, plastic shopping bags and nutrition- challenged "Happy Meals" that contain toys). 

The water bottle vote was unanimous (covering distribution on city-controlled property), compared to the cliff-hanging 2012 vote (6-5), in which the board finally decided to ban unclothed people from the streets (mostly men, of course), where until then some freely wandered downtown sidewalks stark naked. [San Jose Mercury News, 3-5-2014] 

Holly doodle! Can't even walk around downtown starkers anymore! What is this world coming to? Don't suppose someone would get far there if s/he was wearing nothing butt plastic bottles, either, huh?

See ya, eh!

Bob
