Waking up to Garbage: December 19

December 19, 2001 — 7:45am

Sunrises are obviously all in the clouds, and today's are full of menace and foreboding.

It occurs to me that we had better develop an appreciation for garbage dumps. The entire bay is ringed round with them, and the loveliest views are from their sometimes considerable heights. The towering garbage heaps of Bayfront Park, for instance, give a lovely view of the bay and saltponds to the south and east. And the Byxbee hills give you a great view to the north and east, across Adobe Creek and the marshes.
