Around 4:30 Tuesday afternoon...Extra points. Chasing a beer on a HOUSTON freeway near rush hour? (I'll take LA rush hour traffic for $200, Alec.)

This is why cannabis users locally use soft glass pipes and bubblers. Drop them, they break, nothing to chase accross the highway, therefore no Darwin award danger for stoners. ;-)
