Well if it was on the other side of the channel the locals would be pissed off and demand something be done about it. BUT it is where only a few travel or even know about. so nobody is saying much till I posted this. Now I'm saying something about it.

Disgusting, but hell, at least this stuff can be picked up and put in bags for removal...if this was local I'd be the first to volunteer ...wish the oil spill problem was as easy to deal with.
A few years ago when I walked to work , I'd bring along a garbage bag to pick up what was tossed 'nightly' along the side of the road....many a time I could fill a big green lawn bag with the mile I walked. - 10 months ago

Just what happens when thousands of people throw their trash in the local bays. This is kind of a remote area that untill a few years ago only the hardcore locals dared to go to at one time it took a good 4x4 with a good driver to get there that or a boat. Now anyone with a truck can get back there on a average day.

Well one is a bull dog mix with what I have no idea. The other is a A.P.B.T. She is 11 or 12 He is five. I got him for my fortieth birthday. They just love the beach but I can't let them loose in public. He is a game dog that came from a farm that fought dogs. He is a great animal around people but not around other dogs or small animals.

That's disgusting Bailey. We have the same problem here at the bay not far from my house which carries all kinds of refuse from downstream and leaves it at low tide. It really angers me how people think waterways are garbage cans! People complained and our community working with the schools came out and cleaned it up along with the city, but it's coming back. Is this privately owned or part of a municipality?

Well Jan it is an Island that is owned by a large corperation I believe. I'm going to try and find out tomorrow. There are not trespassing signs on the property but they get pushed over by folks driving across the place. Everybody wants to cleanup what the tourist see but no one wants to clean what is not seen.

I have a deep ditch in front of my home & each year I have to make an expedition into it to clean up what everybody throws out the car windows. Have to do it, otherwise it looks like MY mess. People, just put a small garbage can inside your car. Is that too much to ask?

I remember when bottles had a return tax on them & everyone picked them up or never threw them out to begin with. A return to this that included say plastic shopping bags, anything that people regularly toss. Money is always a good incentive. It's how my friends & I got candy money as kids from those bottles.

I still have a fewe of those bottles that are worth ten cents each. Some states have a return value on plastic bottles. Now we need everyState to have a return value on every bottle. Even if it's only a penny it would be worth it in the long run. Oh hey me and My brother used the money for BB's. I so miss those days.

If Plastic was banned you'd have recyclers out there picking it up like returnable bottles. FREE LABOR ENERGY. Thinking caps people, thinking caps, they're over there on the floor where you threw them down.

Minutes seem like days
Since fire ruled the sky
The rich became the beggars
And the fools became the wise
Memories linger in my brain
Of burning from the acid rain
A pain I never have wonNothing here remains
No future and no past
No one could foresee
The end that came so fast
Hear the prophet make his guess
That paradise lies to the west
So join his quest for the sunShades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to beThe world slowly decays
Destruction fills my eyes
Harboring the image
Of a spiraling demise
Burning winds release their fury
Simulating judge and jury
Drfiting flurries of painDeafening silence reigns
As twilight fills the sky
Eventual supremacy
As daylight waits to die
Darkness always calls my name
A pawn in this recurring game
Humanity going insaneShades of death are all I see
Skeletons of Society
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what use to be
Fragments of what use to be
Skeletons of SocietyMinutes seem like days
Corrosion fills the sky
Morbid dreams of anarchy
Brought judgment in disguise
Memories linger in my brain
Life with nothing more to gain
Perpetual madness remainsShades of death are all I see
Skeletons of Society
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what use to be
Fragments of what use to be

Another one for the dark mood....but the remix is simply amazing.
Watch the sun,
As it crawls across a final time
And it feels like,
Like it was a friend.
It is watching us,
And the world we set on fire
Do you wonder,
If it feels the same?And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
As your time is running out
Let me take away your doubt
You can find a better a place
In this twilightDust to dust,
Ashes in your hair remind me
What it feels like
And I won't feel again
Night descends
Could I have been a better person
If I could only do it all againAnd the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
If you believe it
And the longing that you feel
You know none of this is real
You will find a better a place
