But, a nice thought. Most of the beach cleanup and river cleanup projects include cleanup along private property. Anywhere that debris washes up. Or pulling tires, regrigerators, etc., out of the river beds. I just heard a report on the news that a baby grand piano went floating by in the floods of Houston. Came from a hospital basement that filled up and overflowed. Was one used by the doctors at the hospital who enjoyed picking at tunes during their breaks from a stressful day at the hospital. Imagine pulling *that* out of the bayou during a cleanup... 8-} Cheers, Jackie *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
