cigarettes, heat, and hot tubs

As a kid, I was intrigued by the idea of Olympic divers using a hot tub after they performed their dive. Not all of them did, but a majority would slip in to the hot tub immediately after getting out of the pool. I found myself judging the people who would not use the hot tub against those who did. The divers who used it, in my opinion, were cool, and obviously smart.
If someone offered me an opportunity to sit in a hot tub on national (or international) television, I think I would take that opportunity. Plus, I wouldn't have to pay to use it, and there would be ladies in swimsuits involved.
While driving tonight, I was following a car who's driver threw out the butt end of a cigarrette. Things like that really irritate me. I can't stand the sight of dozens of cigarrette butts on a sidewalk or street just feet from a trash can. It drives me nuts. What makes me more upset is when my new sweater shrinks in the dryer.
