The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for July 12, 2023

Wouldn’t make much difference, Koko.

Pick up after both.

Got that right

Well, at least that trash basket is spotless.

They do that at the beach also. The Gulf Coast is littered after spring break and summer. We would have to pick up stuff all the time when we had house on Gulf.

Why can’t (or won’t) people pick up after themselves? It’s not that hard!

You tell ’em Koko…

They sure did leave a mess at Lake Tahoe on the 4th of July.

Is that reminiscent of San Francisco?

There was an ad in a magazine in London (UK) some years ago, featuring a cute doggie. It said humans fouled the pavement much more than the dog did. They weighed trash and dog droppings over a period of time, and discovered that the humans left many times the amount of trash that the dogs left. The conclusion was that the dogs don’t know any better, but the humans certainly should.

Yup.

at our recent shrine festival trash bins were thoughtfully placed out for festival visitors and people used them. unfortunately, nobody thought to empty the trash bins at the end of the day, so our local crows did there best to spread the trash around…
