Broken glass big problem

The state of Hawaii has done a fine job protecting us from plastic bags. Soon Styrofoam food containers will also be banned. There’s another blight on this lovely island that needs to be addressed. Broken glass.

The amount of broken glass on Hawaii’s sacred roadways is astounding. I’m told all land is sacred, so I’m including roads. Our wise and learned leaders should ban glass beverage bottles as well. Hawaii residents are too immature and irresponsible to handle them. Meanwhile, a task force can be formed to study this perplexing behavior of flagrant disregard for the community’s well-being.

Big Momma needs to protect her little ones from sharp objects.

LeBron James the greatest

There is no doubt in my mind that LeBron James is the greatest to ever play the exciting game of basketball. His performance in the 2016 NBA Finals, where he led all players in scoring, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, is a testament to his greatness. LeBron James possesses the size, speed, strength and overall basketball skills that has never been seen before in basketball history.

It is amazing that the great LeBron is a facilitator first, yet, puts up staggering numbers scoring wise. In my heart and soul, LeBron is the only basketball player who came straight out of high school who was ready to play in the NBA starting right off the bat from his rookie year.

When it is all said and done, LeBron might be considered the best athlete to ever perform in the universe. Again, his size and athletic ability are second to none. I’m just glad to have been a witness to such greatness. Enough said!
