Litter Gitters are Super Heroes!
While attending the West Virginia Writer's Conference at Cedar Lakes in Ripley, WV, this weekend, my wife and other writers were asked in one session to write a short description of what they would do if they were a "Super Hero". Here is what she wrote:
"From one hundred yards away, I see the cigarette butts gathered in wet globs by the curb. As if commanded without my knowledge, my arm extends its full length, my fingers form a circle with my thumb and the butts are sucked in a perfect arc into my sleeve. It's like the reverse path of a Kobe Bryant 3-pointer!
My arm relaxes and I continue my walk to the grocery store. One more block - clean for at least the day." - Carter Taylor Seaton
Huntington's "Adopt YOUR Block - Be a Litter Gitter" group of 1906 volunteers do it the old fashion way (one butt at a time), but they are Super-Heroes to my wife and me.
