plastic bag ban goes into effect today

.....and then there's that nice little lady in front of you in line. The one who reuses and reuses and reuses her bag. The nice little lady who, when upon arriving back home with her groceries and such, sets her bags down on the ground as she unloads her truck.... the truck her dogs ride in.... the ground her dogs/ cats/ boyfriend/ wild-pigs/ jungle-rats urinated on prior to her arriving back home.

.....and the nice little lady in front of her, and in front of her, and in front of her.

.....and then there's you, with all your healthy-food-choices, merrily watching as they slide one-by-one off the conveyor-belt onto that very same counterspace where nice-little-lady #1 through 77 cluelessly placed their ultra-"green" bags.

.....you ...happily anticipating the moment you arrive home yourself, unload your scrumptious purchases on your kitchen counter, and prepare that yummy salad.

How wonderful that we finally have an urgent care clinic in Pahoa, eh?
