Sleeper in canoe under E Lake bridge

Where's Shallowsnole? I want to know if that guy would be due to pay bed tax if he's renting the canoe?

All's well that ends well. I go for the 'in the dog house' theory, and it must have worked itself out because our mysterious sleeper obviously has not had another moonlit night on the water. ;-)

Has anybody checked some of the other bridges? This could be the new affordable housing...

Actually, no. Statutes are silent as to boats. :roll:

Oh boy, I can already see people floating homes. ;-)

They're called houseboats and there was an attempted project several years ago to provide more affordable housing by putting a bunch of them in one of the canals near the bay. ;-)

Sunday Oct. 11 bridge watch

This morning before 7 a.m. a thin rope is attached to the bridge dangling down with a length in the water by the center piers. Along the pedestrian bypass railing is a small old Cingular cell phone and relatively large battery looking swampy with bits of weeds attached, as if having been dunked and put out to dry. Didn't touch or stop for photos.
I seem to be more interested in the green-topped Phragmites weeds along the lakeshore.

I saw those ropes hanging from the bridge. Never seeing crab traps tied to the bridges like that, I pulled one up out of curiousity (on the north side of the bridge), and found that it was indeed a crab trap.

I'm pretty certain I know the sleeper, but never got a chance to ask him when I saw him the other day.

Yes, Scooterbug is right. What if he was an ALIEN????!!!.

I've always wondered if there was any hope for the crabs' long-term survival in E Lake since no one monitors the take. Do you think it is sustainable? Do the crabs have a chance? The ones in a trap I checked were small, 3".

You certainly are teasing us with your sleeper info.
