Butts??

RECEIVED Wed., Aug. 31, 2005

Dear Editor,
    There's one issue of the smoking ban that, to my knowledge, has not yet been brought up. That is the issue of butts. Now, look, I'm a smoker, but just because I don't mind my lungs gettin' a little polluted doesn't mean I feel the same way about my hometown's streets. There are plenty of trash cans in Austin, and on Sixth Street in particular. So please people, dispose of that butt properly when you have to smoke outside. Think of the calories you'll burn to offset those beers, "accidentally" brush your smoldering ashes against someone raving about the ban, I don't care, just do whatever you have to do to motivate yourself to walk a few extra feet to a trash can. Please don't make this ban any worse than it has to be.
Thank you,
Kelly deAnne Davis
