Code Enforcement tagging items

[Carol G]

Ok, so I lied. Sometimes I can walk past stuff, but not always... today I picked up an abandoned tupperware, a cracked hard hat, a bucket strap, a baggie, a piece of yellow police "caution" tape (!) and a net. I kept the net - score!

I'll continue to ignore the big stuff for now - chairs, floats, tents, even towels, unless they wash up in the water. I think the powers that be are working hard to solve the issue, and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

I'm glad there are so many folks here who do actually care about keeping the beach clean. I know we outnumber the rest by far... and I know we will prevail, one way or another. Whether by new policies, or becoming vigilante tent ninjas, our beaches will stay beautiful.

I still think we should have an "abandoned c$@p" soiree.

Code Enforcement finally got the go ahead to tag items, and they are out today, so make sure that you pick up your stuff before you leave.
It will be nice to get our beaches clean again.

The Turtle Lady will be thrilled about that, especially since all the criminal charges were dropped against her this week.

I like the idea of setting up camp in other people's space! I think it may be a good way to meet our temporary neighbors and in a family kind of way, spread the word and educate. Of course, I would be ready to share our goldfish crackers!

And speaking of scoring, I have 8 nets this year so far....found washing around in the surf. One year I found a bra. No, I don't still have that. And one year, one of the turtle walkers found some dentures! 'To trash or not to trash?'

Did I miss this news when I was out of town? Have a link to a story?

And I'll keep on appreciating your efforts SWGB. I do hope to return to picking up things.

Most of my time in the early morning hours is as a turtle walker and I must take a very high road to protect the integrity of the name of that organization and not allow my zeal to stain their image. This is why I have taken my position.

Get me in ninja mode on personal time and anything left on the beach overnight could easily become "trash".

Ahhh! Now I understand the point of being careful.

Ed Walborsky got her off, she only has to pay for the trash the she "vandalized".
