went jogging down by the beach tonight...
And I smelled a bunch of people smoking stuff, some weed, some something else.
As I jogged past one of those cement benches, there was this Hispanic guy sitting there with a wool winter cap (its cold about 45 here in South Bay LA) and this 30 something Hispanic woman sitting there, and he had some "crack rocks" out and was smoking them in a pipe sharing them with the woman. It was pretty pathetic scene. It was also a sad reality that a lot of people are going through painful addictions and things that they are dealing with this holiday season, and life goes on for them. |

Lives that appear to be miles apart, but in reality it could have been anyone of us. Counting ones blessings, while they are still around, is not a bad habit.

yeah, i mean it just hit me...running there trying to keep in shape and there is a whole other spectrum of the world going on, right out there in the open.. you could just see the woman was totally hooked and out of it and that guy in the cap was just feeding her the rock, probably taking advantage of her state, it was really heavy stuff to see on Christmas. I have close relatives with life runing addictive states too... its sad stuff.

Two of my daughters (4 and 6) and I (42) were sledding at the local park yesterday afternoon. There were maybe six other kids there and...2 teenagers (16-17 maybe). I smelled one of the teens smoking and politely asked (told) him to "put out the cigarette while little kids were around." He replied "what?" with a pretty incredulous look on his face. I repeated myself and (suprisingly) he said "OK". I said "thank you" and that was it. Honestly, I half expected an altercation and was prepared to play along to make my point. To be fair, the kid was maybe 5'9" and 160#...I'm maybe 6'1" in my snow boots and #250 butt nekid.
I realize cig's are not crack cocaine...but it still rubs me the wrong way when people start smoking around me and fully pisses me off when they do it around little kids...especially mine  .
