Yesterday I got out for about 2 hours during the late afternoon. The weather was good, and while I thought about focusing just on river clean-up I felt it would be better to focus more on the overall condition of the entire area. So I did...
I left the boat launch at around 15.45 and headed up towards the Ousatonic dam. A strong south wind made heading north a bit of a chore, but not too bad. I noticed quite a bit of plastic - large clear plastic liners - of which I retrieved several of which were along both the Derby and Shelton river banks just south of Rt 8.
It's a losing battle: There is no possible way I can keep up with all the trash which keeps showing up. So, this year I will do something different: prioritize how I remove what...
1. Fishing lines, lures, hooks, etc - since this is most hazardous to the animals.
2. Plastic bags, etc... this is also very hazardous to the birds and marine life
3. Styrofoam - which kills too.
Stuff like plastic bottles - while an eye sore - don't harm the wildlife. I'll deal with that matter when I can...

Last week, me and Wolf visited David and Cheryl at their shop, and while the visit was a bit awkward, I left knowing that I just lost 2 friends. It sucks to feel this way, but I really do.
To fall from grace is never good, but indeed I have, and the need for redemption - while great - is not quite forthcoming just yet...
...but soon I hope!!

The Vermont saying is that with Thanksgiving Day follows 100 days of bitter cold weather. Well, it seems that this is holding true once again. Winters back is broken, soon it will be spring.
With death comes life. One door closes and another always seems to open...
Give-Love-Each-Day,
Earth xoxo
