Smokers Support Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
Yesterday evening, I was driving around Pentagon City, listening to Chad Cordero give away another Nationals' victory. The car in front of me was festooned with various pink ribbons and other decorations about the fight against breast cancer. This reminded me that the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer was Sunday, and it also reminded me that I'd be owing a couple of people in my office money this morning (and happy about it).
I manuevered my car around the presumed Avon Walker, and pulled up next to her at the stoplight. I glanced over, and she was dressed all in bright pink, with a pink hat, decorated with all kinds of pins and ribbons. She was definitely a crusader in the fight against breast cancer, great for her.
As I admired her adornments she fired up a cigarette. She took a big drag, smiled and hung her cigarette-holding arm out the window. Nothing like your first cigarette after the breast cancer walk, I guess.

About Me
- tadcranky
- Tadcranky grew up in Arlington, Virginia, and now lives in Alexandria, with his girlfriend, a crazed puggle, and a varying number of fish. Someday, he may get a frog. He works in Washington, DC. He is a bona fide fan of the Red Sox, as well as the Nationals, Wizards and Redskins. He's hurt by the current state of the Redskins, and wonders if Gilbert Arenas will ever be back. Though the Nationals are no good, there's not much that he enjoys more than Sunday afternoongame at the new stadium. He's played on the same softball team for 25 years, and has been in the same rotisserie baseball league for almost as long. His softball team is great, his rotisserie team fluctuates. He also has a fantasy football team, which is among the worst in his league. He doesn't like Ethiopian food, people that talk too loud on their cell phones, Ann Coulter and bad drivers, all of which are characteristics that the Washington, DC-area is famous for. He's easily amused, he has about 200 channels of cable and knows how to use them. He's got a good rating on eBay, and hasn't gotten a speeding ticket in quite a while.
