While sitting the beach, a family arrived with a dog who promptly pooped on a critical path to the beach. Unprepared to deal with the problem, the dog's owner scrambled over to a pile of debris, looking for a plastic bag to scoop up the waste. Indeed, he found a discarded plastic bag, but the bag was full of - marijuana. So, he took out the weed and handed it over to his cousin, and they had a big laugh. Then the dog's owner cleaned up after his dog, who, by this time, was racing full-tilt along the beach, menacing sea gulls and, in general, having a blast.
