No wonder your scene of the garbage dump was so realistic in Getaway! You saw it and lived to tell the story, lol!<br /><br />Like Pat mentions, wonder what people digging in the future will think of it all?<br /><br />Sigh, Gad sooks I HATE capchas.

One carried a square metre of artificial grass to use on the fairways. The 'greens' were actually oiled sand that had been rolled. This was all carved out of the Namib desert. One of the main attractions of the course, at least to me, was the town garbage (rubbish) dump, which host to an amazing number of birds and bird species. Birdies and eagles galore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-76491867963068371982012-05-07T14:11:19.192-04:002012-05-07T14:11:19.192-04:00Lisa, you managed to make garbage elegant. Refuse ...Lisa, you managed to make garbage elegant. Refuse is odd, a lot of what we really throwaway isn't bad, it just doesn't fit in our lives anymore. Or as my daughter says, "First World Problem". I remember my father, whom grew up during the Great Depression, use to tell me how his dream job as a kid was to be a garbage man--you get first pick of everything!<br /><br />Yes, like most people from that generation he had hoarder tendencies and squirreled things away. But, I learned practical skills: old cotton shirts to worn for donation become rags for cleaning, roast chicken carcasses become stock that I freeze, and I buy what I need with only the occasional what I want. And I collect free rubber bands which I turn into a ever-increasing bouncy ball.Vivian Anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-47691436723102605982012-05-07T14:00:13.290-04:002012-05-07T14:00:13.290-04:00You've been to the most amazing places--places...You've been to the most amazing places--places the usual sort of tourist would never even think to go. In our city, we have a city golf course built over an old dump.

Perhaps they take too much for granted. Mykonos is no exception. The situation here inspired some locals to produce an independent film documentary on the subject. As for plastic bags, they truly are taking over the world...both above and beneath the sea.<br /><br />Looking forward to the new book!Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.com
