Well, it certainly looks like it! The two containers that were put on that nice spot where I thought there's be some pretty landscaping are now THREE containers. Is this going to continue? Will that whole pretty little road become with lined with containers and port-a-potties (which are a few feet away)? Where does it come from, this tendency to take any nice green, wooded spot in the city, and cover it with man-made crap. I guess I should count myself lucky that the whole park hasn't been covered with concrete.Other than that, it was yet another gorgeous fall day. Sun shining, perfect temperature, leaves glinting with bits of gold, red, and yellow amongst the green. Water fowl mostly in the middle of the lake today, enjoying the sun.
Well, almost mostly. One young family arrived to feed them, about 30 feet away from a "Please do not feed the wild life" sign. At first, it was just the seagulls that came swooping in. Their noise and activity attracted everyone else - swans, ducks, geese, pigeons, cormorants, everyone. It reminded me a teeny bit of a scene in Hitchcock's "The Birds." A little terrifying. The family seemed to feel the same way, because they really slowed down on the feeding at that point. Any way the "don't feed" message gets across is fine with me.
Off to the Sean Casey Shelter's Halloween party with JJ in costume. Pictures tomorrow, along with the usual sarcasm.
