Boston's Charles River Clean Up Boat

I had the opportunity to visit Boston recently. Having bragged on the Charles River "Clean Up Boat" for years of its ability to keep part of the Charles River free of trash, it was important to do a little investigation on my own.

The Charles River is a pretty busy waterway on weekends with Duck Tour boats, pedal boats, crew boats, Sailboats, canoes and plenty of kayakers. Charles River draws in a lot of recreational water users including a large amount of tourism.

Pedal boats ready for rental. You won't see pedal boats for rent in Mobile...

To investigate the Charles River waterway trash, I rode a 30 mile bike ride loop around the Charles River from Waltham to the Charlestown Navy Yard. Was the Charles River free of trash? No.

I did observe some plastic bags in the water. What I did NOT see was any plastic bottles and styrofoam cups. Obviously the Charles River Clean Up Boat is directly responsible for the Charles River being mostly free of plastic bottles and styrofoam cups.

I even saw the Charles River Clean Up Boat motoring around.

On that 30 mile bicycle ride around the Charles River I never saw a single plastic bottle or Styrofoam cup in or along the water. There were however a few plastic bottles in Boston Harbor which is an area not kept clean by the Clean Up Boat.

With so many people using the Charles River, I was flabergasted not to have seen lots of trash along the River.

Obviously one little skiff working 4 days a week is able to keep a large 8 mile portion of the Charles River in one of the densest metropolitan areas of the country clean of most discardable drink containers. Not much Uglyness in the Charles River.

Big Kudos to Tom McNichols and his Non-Profit Clean Up Boat!

Ugly Ordinary People Society

http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/index.ssf/2016/06/alabama_cant_afford_to_be_anot.html

The recent shooting of a black teen in Mobile shows just how ugly Mobile is becoming. A group of fat black leaders calling itself the "Ordinary People's Society" has threatened to shut down interstates I-10 and I-65 in protest of the Michael Moore police shooting if the Police Officer is not charged with thug's murder. 

The teen was alledgely driving a car reported to be stolen and was in possession of a gun at the time of the shooting. Far as I am concerned, the world is a safer place with one less gun toting car thief. 

The law used to hang horse thieves. I have no problem with the law shooting a car thief in possession of a gun, no matter what their skin color.

Black Leaders could have gotten in front of the TV camera and warned young black teens that if you commit a crime one of the possible consequences is sudden death from a police bullet or from an armed citizen protecting his or her property. They could have told young black people to wise up.

The Black Leaders could have pleaded with the Black Community to obey police commands when they are being pursued by the police for whatever reason, justified or not. Without respect for the police, this country will fall into chaos much like what is happening in many black communities. Those black communities that have no respect for law enforcement is partly because much of the activity in those low life communities are considered illegal. Drugs, chop shops, car theft rings, insurance scams, entitlement theft rings, prostitution, shop lifting rings, etc.

Instead, the Black Leaders appear to be trying make the police officer shooting out to be a criminal act so they and the family can possibly profit greatly from legal actions. Yeah, young black kids, listen up! Your family can become Millionaires if you can manage to set up a police officer to be a fall guy. That is an Ugly message for Black Leaders to be sending to their young black people...

Meantime, where was this "Ordinary People Society" when a Black officer shot and killed a completely butt naked and unarmed white person running down a street?

What this country needs is less career criminals going through the revolving prison doors. To accomplish that we need Moore (pardon the pun) police officer shootings of criminals. Bury criminals instead of giving them free shelter and food and health care. 

In my opinion the Ordinary People Society is sending the worst possible message to their people. Blacks are their own worst enemy, not the police.

Ugly Roadside Maintenance

Nov 2014

Jun 2016

This is the Ugly trashy service road a few hundred yards from Walmart in Tillman's Corner. A year and a half and the roadside trash is still there. It appears neither the City, County or State, not to mention Walmart gives a shit what the roads in their area look like. Typical of a community on its way to decay and economic collapse.

Ass Whooping

The Ugly condition at Helen Wood Park. Some Asshole drove over shrubs. Another Asshole illegally discarded their trash on the ground. Some Asshole needs a good old fashioned ass whooping with a thick leather belt. 

Problems like this would not happen if the Parks Department put someone in charge of monitoring and enforcing park rules at City Parks. Instead, neglected City parks are being overrun by criminal elements. That is Ugly!

Ugly Storm Drainage System in Mobile

Trash and plenty of cigarette butts seen in the street destine for a Mobile area waterway. The roadside trash merely awaits a rain to flush it down Mobile's drainage system.

Why are there not people responsible for each drainage inlet charged with keeping the area free of trash on a DAILY basis. That is a good question. Why is there no program to responsibly maintain the storm water drainage system to prevent pollution of local waterways?

It is retarded to know there is trash, some with cancer causing agents in it, located in or near storm water drainage inlets and then ignore it. But that is what the City of Mobile does. The idiotic irresponsible community may get around to checking a storm water inlet for trash once every five years or so.

The end result is more cancer causing chemicals in our spaceship's ONLY drinking water supply. The human species deserves to suffer for their stupid fucking apathy toward toxic pollution of the Earth's waters.

There is no disputing it. Cigarettes are linked to cancer. The tobacco companies won't even tell what substances they put into cigarettes. Why are authorities still allowing cigarettes to be manufactured if cigarettes cause cancer?

Really. A dozen or two people are killed or maimed from rusting automobile airbags that improperly deploy and the government forces replacement of the dangerous product. According to the CDC about half a Million deaths in just the United States alone are linked to cigarette consumption and no one has forced recall of the killer sticks yet? Talk about discrimination...

The same government that regulates product safety also reaps huge revenue from the sales of the killer tobacco sticks. That is a conflict of interest. It is obvious Government entities care more about their revenue than your health. That is the Ugly Truth. Got cancer yet?

Ugly Mobile School System Maintenance

Here is an unusable sidewalk at a Mobile County School. This is so typical of the substandard grounds maintenance at Mobile's Public Schools. Someone in charge at this school doesn't give a damn about the safety of school kids. That is Ugly.

Ugly Snapper Season

Fishing Pigs love to mark their territory with Ugly fish remains on the side of public roadways. Unlike plastic trash at least this rank smelling fishy trash will be quickly assimilated into the environment as noted by all the maggots.

When it Rains it Pollutes

When it Rains the contaminants on the roadways end up in the public waterways. So, what is in your public waterways? Lots of vehicle fluids and that is Ugly!

Litter Enforcement in Mobile? Hahaha!

Apathetic housekeeping at Dollar General. There is a drainage ditch 25 feet away.

Apathetic Convenience Store with regards to their customer litter which ends up in the nearby drainage ditch.

Plenty of trash in this Taco Bell parking lot.

Overflowing trash barrel at Cooper Riverside Park because Mobile Park personnel fail to check the garbage cans often enough.

The consequence of the complete failure of litter enforcement in Mobile to force higher standards in how the City of Mobile and their licensed businesses deal with litter is polluted waterways. This is trashy Halls Mill Creek.

Ugly Park Management in Mobile

There are not very many rules in City of Mobile Parks. Because there is little if any enforcement of the Park rules, Park rules are highly abused.

No parking on the grass? Because this rule is not enforced Mobile parks can be very muddy because the grass has been destroyed by people driving and parking all over the park's grass.

No littering? This is the Ugly City of Mobile's Helen Wood Park. This Ugly consequence is the result of Park neglect by the City of Mobile.

Littered City of Mobile McNally Park. In Mobile, these Blue Barrels mark the spot where people are suppose to toss their trash on the ground.

Littered Shoreline of the City of Mobile's Dog River Park. The sorry ass Park maintainers cut the shoreline weeds and ignore the trash.

Nothing changes in Mobile's parks when it comes to the gross neglect of enforcement of park rules and park maintenance. The end result are Ugly fucking parks in the Shitty of Mobile. Welcome to Mobile, the City of Trash and home of the growing population of Litter Chunkers and apathetic City leaders.

Press Register's Gulf Coast Life Trash

Yeah, the Press Register's chunk it on the ground method of "carrier delivery" of their "Gulf Coast Life" product is still irresponsible considering mailboxes have been used for dry delivery since 1891. 

This sales product is delivered to non-subscribers. (1) Really, the Gulf Coast Life trash just starts showing up on your driveway or lawn and it is up to you to cancel the subscription to the trash being thrown on your personal property that you did not subscribe to in the first place. 

Press Register is a company proven to be complicit in polluting the environment. Yet no one can stop the greedy corporation from continuing to pollute Mobile waterways with their product cuz they have good lawyers. Apparently it is Press Register's right to freedom of speech that gives them the right to pollute our waterways via irresponsible delivery of their product.

You would think the carrier who delivers the product to this home would see no one wants Gulf Coast Life or they have moved away. But noooo, the idiot employed by Press Register keeps throwing the plastic and paper trash on the ground. It is too bad that ADEM and City of Mobile leaders lack the lawyers to hold waterway polluters accountable for their actions.

Ugly Mobile Education

An 8th grade Mobile teacher recently got in trouble for giving her students an old hilarious urban math test. (1)

This is the same urban math test that has been getting teachers in Big trouble for over 20 years. (2)  It is comical to see a Mobile teacher just now using the exam and getting in big trouble. It proves Mobile is not only a quarter century behind in recycling and environmental protection programs, but also education.

The Ugly thing is even though over 17,000 American children and teens are shot on average each year (3), many in drive by shootings, if a teacher puts a math question about drive by shootings on a quiz, society ousts the teacher to control the education instead of ousting the guns to control the violence. Education declines while gun violence increases. That is Ugly.
