The Great Salt Lake is drying up and the Republican government of Utah is doing little to save it. They constantly cave to the usual groups: agricultural interests, mining, homeowners who like spacious lawns in an arid region, and big industry.

The largest saltwater lake in the western hemisphere has been steadily shrinking, as more and more water has been diverted away from the lake to irrigate farmland, feed industry and water lawns. A megadrought across the US south-west, accelerated by global heating, has hastened the lake’s demise. Unless dire action is taken, the lake could decline beyond recognition within five years, a report published early this year warned, exposing a dusty lakebed laced with arsenic, mercury, lead and other toxic substances.The resulting toxic dustbowl would be “one of the worst environmental disasters in modern US history”, the ecologist Ben Abbott of Brigham Young University told the Guardian earlier this year. Despite such warnings, officials have failed to take serious action, local groups said in their lawsuit, which was filed on Wednesday. “We are trying to avert disaster. We are trying to force the hand of state government to take serious action,” said Brian Moench of the Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, one of the groups suing state agencies. “Plaintiffs pray that this Court declare that the State of Utah has breached its trust duty to ensure water flows into the Great Salt Lake sufficient to maintain the Lake,” reads the lawsuit, which was brought by coalition that includes Earthjustice, the Utah Rivers Council, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Sierra Club, among others.

Political pressure has not been very effective in a state dominated by Republicans. The state's response is lukewarm at best. That's in addition to bizarre proposals.

The state’s Republican governor, Spencer Cox, has suspended new claims to water in the Great Salt Lake basin and appointed a commissioner to oversee response to the lake crisis. Last year, Utah’s legislature passed several conservation measures, including a $40m trust to support lake preservation projects. But Abbott and his colleagues, who authored a sobering report on the lake in January, found that those measures increased flows to the lake by just 100,000 acre feet in 2022. About 2.5m acre-feet a year of water will need to flow into the lake to bring it to a healthy level, the researchers estimated. That water will likely have to come at the expense of agriculture, which takes in about three-quarters of the water diverted away from the lake to grow mostly alfalfa and hay. Cities and mineral extraction operations each take up another 9% of diverted water. But wresting water away from agriculture is politically complicated. Officials have explored propositions to pay farmers to fallow land and use less water, though such proposals have yet to gain much tractions. Lawmakers have also offered up a series of out-of-the-box solutions – including cloud seeding, which uses chemicals to prompt more precipitation – or building a giant pipeline from the Pacific Ocean.

Seriously, a pipeline from the Pacific Ocean? This is a classic idiotic GOP way to deal with an environmental catastrophe which doesn't get to the root of the problem.

Already, the lake has lost 73% of its water and 60% of its surface area, and is becoming saltier, threatening native flies and brine shrimp. A diminished lake may be unable to support the more than 10 million migratory birds that stop over in the region. A white pelican colony recently abandoned a nesting site on the lake, potentially due to declining water levels. “In addition to the millions of people who live here, so many plants and animals depend on the lake,” said Deeda Seed, Utah campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity. “The health of northern Utah’s entire population depends on the Great Salt Lake’s survival and I hope this lawsuit can help save it.”

^^^ emphasis added

Yep, take their asses to court to save the body of water which gave the state's largest city its name.

MAY 26, 2023

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta today sentenced the leader of the right-wing Oath Keepers organization, Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, to 18 years in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release. In November a jury found Rhodes guilty of seditious conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, and tampering with documents and proceedings, for his role in organizing people to go to Washington in January 2021 and try to stop the counting of the electoral votes that would make Joe Biden president. Rhodes told the court that his only crime was standing against those who are “destroying our country.” He says he believes he is a “political prisoner” and that he hopes Trump will win the presidency in 2024. “You are not a political prisoner, Mr. Rhodes,” Judge Mehta said. “You, sir, present an ongoing threat and a peril to this country and to the republic and to the very fabric of this democracy.” And yet, former president Trump has said he would not only pardon the January 6 offenders, but would apologize to them for their treatment by the government. Today, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who yesterday announced he is running for president, said he, too, would consider pardoning them, promising to be “aggressive in issuing pardons.” Rhodes struck at our elections. Today in the Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency decision, the Supreme Court struck at the government regulations that underpin modern America. Michael and Chantell Sackett bought land near Priest Lake, Idaho, and backfilled the wetlands on the property to build a home. The EPA found they had violated the Clean Water Act, which prohibits putting pollutants into “the waters of the United States.” Officials told them to restore the site or face penalties of more than $40,000 a day. By a vote of 5–4, the Supreme Court found that “waters” refers only to “‘streams, oceans, rivers, and lakes’ and to adjacent wetlands that are ‘indistinguishable’ from those bodies of water due to a continuous surface connection.” This decision will remove federal protection from half of the currently protected wetlands in the U.S, an area larger than California. Homeowners, farmers, and developers will have far greater latitude to intrude on wetlands than they did previously, and that intrusion has already wrought damage as wetlands act like a sponge to absorb huge amounts of water during hurricanes. From 1992 to 2010, Houston, for example, lost more than 70% of its wetlands to development, leaving it especially vulnerable to Hurricane Harvey, a category 4 hurricane that in 2017 left 107 people dead and caused $125 billion in damage. The decision said that the EPA had overreached in its protection of wetlands as part of the Clean Water Act, and that Congress must “enact exceedingly clear language” on any rules that affect private property. This court seems eager to gut federal regulation, suggesting that Congress cannot delegate regulatory rulemaking to the executive branch. As investigative journalist Dave Troy put it, “If [the] EPA can’t enforce its rules, what federal agency can?” Justice Elena Kagan warned that by destroying the authority of the EPA, both now and in the West Virginia v. EPA decision last June that restricted the agency's ability to regulate emissions from power plants, the court had appointed itself “as the national decision maker on environmental policy.” The Clean Water Act passed by an overwhelming bipartisan vote in 1972, during the administration of Republican president Richard M. Nixon. Nixon backed the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970 after a massive oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, over ten days in January–February 1969 poured between 80,000 and 100,000 barrels of oil into the Pacific, fouling 35 miles of California beaches and killing seabirds, dolphins, sea lions, and elephant seals, and then, four months later, in June 1969, the chemical contaminants that had been dumped into Cleveland’s Cuyahoga River caught fire. In February 1970, Nixon told Congress “[W]e…have too casually and too long abused our natural environment. The time has come when we can wait no longer to repair the damage already done, and to establish new criteria to guide us in the future.” Nixon called for a 37-point program with 23 legislative proposals and 14 new administrative measures to control water and air pollution, manage solid waste, protect parklands and public recreation, and organize for action. At Nixon’s urging, Congress created the EPA in 1970, and two years later, Congress passed the Clean Water Act, establishing protections for water quality and regulating pollutant discharges into waters of the United States. House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tweeted that “[t]oday’s Supreme Court ruling is a win for farmers, businesses, and Americans across the nation by rejecting, yet again, the Biden administration’s costly and burdensome regulatory overreach.” But it sure looks like the story is not about Biden, but rather is about an extremist SCOTUS overturning 50 years of law that gave us clean water because it is determined to slash federal authority to regulate business. McCarthy is trying to manage his conference while members of the far-right Freedom Caucus strike at our economy. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reiterated today that defaulting on the national debt is not an option. “The President has said that, the Speaker has said that, and we want the American people to understand that as well…. What is up for debate, though, is the budget,” she said. “And that’s what these discussions are about: two very different fiscal visions for our country and our economy.” Biden’s proposed budget invests in ordinary Americans and over 10 years is projected to reduce the deficit by nearly $3 trillion by “asking the wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share and by slashing wasteful spending on special interests.” In contrast, “House Republicans…want to slash programs millions of hardworking Americans count on, while also protecting tax breaks skewed to the wealthy and corporations that will add $3.5 trillion to the debt. That’s where these negotiations began,” she said. Finally, there is news today about the man that Rhodes is going to prison for, concerning his strike at our national security. Devlin Barrett, Josh Dawsey, Spencer S. Hsu, and Perry Stein of the Washington Post reported that on June 2, 2022, the day one of Trump’s lawyers contacted the Justice Department to say that officials were welcome to come to Mar-a-Lago to retrieve the classified documents the department had subpoenaed, two of Trump’s employees moved boxes of papers. The next day, when FBI agents arrived, Trump’s lawyers gave them 38 documents, said they had conducted a “diligent search,” and claimed that all the relevant documents had been turned over. Yet, when FBI agents conducted a search two months later, they found more than 100 additional classified documents. The timing of the moved boxes suggests that Trump was deliberately hiding certain documents. The Washington Post article also says that more than one witness has told prosecutors that Trump sometimes kept classified documents out in the open and showed them to people. Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement: “This is nothing more than a targeted, politically motivated witch hunt against President Trump that is concocted to meddle in an election and prevent the American people from returning him to the White House.”

The Environmental Impact of Chemical Drain Cleaners: A Deep Dive into Their Hidden Dangers

Clogged drains are a common household nuisance, and when faced with a stubborn blockage, many homeowners quickly reach for a bottle of chemical drain cleaner. These products promise fast, effective results — melting away hair, grease, and debris with minimal effort. However, what many don’t realize is that the convenience of chemical drain cleaners comes at a significant environmental cost.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the hidden dangers of chemical drain cleaners, focusing on their environmental impact, potential health risks, and safer, more sustainable alternatives. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to maintain your plumbing or an eco-conscious individual concerned about the planet, understanding the effects of these household staples is crucial for making more informed choices.

What Are Chemical Drain Cleaners?

Chemical drain cleaners are chemical formulations designed to clear clogged pipes by breaking down the material causing the obstruction. Available in liquid, gel, or foam form, they typically contain harsh chemicals like sodium hydroxide (lye), sulfuric acid, or hydrochloric acid. These substances are powerful enough to dissolve hair, soap scum, grease, and other common household blockages.

While they offer a quick fix, the reality is that many chemical drain cleaners contain substances that can harm not only your plumbing but also the environment.

How Do Chemical Drain Cleaners Work?

Chemical drain cleaners work through a process called “caustic” action, which involves the breakdown of materials through chemical reactions. Here’s a quick breakdown of how the process typically works:

Alkaline drain cleaners (such as those containing lye) break down organic materials by increasing the pH levels in the drain.

Acidic drain cleaners (which may contain sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid) decrease the pH level, effectively dissolving the material causing the clog.

While these chemicals are effective at clearing blockages, they can be harmful to your plumbing, your health, and the environment.

The Environmental Dangers of Chemical Drain Cleaners

Chemical drain cleaners, while effective, have significant environmental consequences. Here’s a closer look at the dangers they pose:

Water Contamination

When you pour chemical drain cleaners down the drain, they don’t simply disappear. Many of these chemicals end up in wastewater systems, which eventually flow into rivers, lakes, and oceans. Over time, the accumulation of chemicals in water bodies can lead to contamination, harming aquatic life and potentially impacting the water supply for human consumption.

The toxicity of substances like sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid is concerning. Even in small quantities, they can significantly alter the pH balance of water bodies, leading to long-term ecological damage. For instance, a sudden change in pH can disrupt aquatic ecosystems, harming fish, amphibians, and other wildlife.

Harm to Wildlife and Ecosystems

The impact of chemical drain cleaners extends beyond water contamination. These substances can harm animals that come into contact with polluted water. For example, fish can die or become disoriented from even small concentrations of harmful chemicals in their habitat. This ripple effect can disrupt entire ecosystems, as the death of one species can have unintended consequences for other organisms within the same food chain.

Additionally, when chemical drain cleaners are not disposed of properly, they can pollute soil and groundwater, impacting local wildlife, including plants, insects, and larger animals.

Air Quality and Ozone Depletion

Many chemical drain cleaners contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are harmful to air quality. VOCs are released into the atmosphere when the product is used, contributing to air pollution and potentially damaging the ozone layer. Prolonged exposure to these chemicals can also have detrimental effects on human health, including respiratory issues.

Health Risks Associated with Chemical Drain Cleaners

While chemical drain cleaners are designed to clear clogs, their strong chemical composition poses significant health risks to both humans and animals.

For Humans

The chemicals in drain cleaners can cause skin and eye irritation, especially if they come into direct contact. Inhaling the fumes can lead to respiratory problems, such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, accidental ingestion of these products can lead to chemical burns or even life-threatening injuries.

For households with children or pets, the dangers are even more pronounced, as these products are often left within reach. Ingestion or skin contact can result in severe burns, poisoning, and long-term health complications.

For Pets

Pets, particularly dogs and cats, are especially vulnerable to the toxic effects of chemical drain cleaners. Animals may unintentionally ingest the chemicals if they come into contact with contaminated water or surfaces, leading to serious poisoning. Some pets may experience symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, and even organ damage in extreme cases.

The Hidden Costs of Chemical Drain Cleaners: Beyond the Environment

Chemical drain cleaners may seem like a quick and inexpensive solution to clogged pipes, but they come with hidden costs that go beyond environmental damage.

Plumbing Damage

The caustic nature of many chemical drain cleaners can cause significant damage to your plumbing over time. The chemicals can corrode pipes, leading to leaks, cracks, or even complete pipe failure. This damage can result in costly repairs and even the need for full pipe replacements.

Long-Term Impact on Municipal Water Systems

When chemical drain cleaners enter municipal water systems, they can compromise the water treatment process. The chemicals can disrupt the natural filtration processes, requiring additional treatments and increasing the overall cost of water treatment for entire communities. Over time, this can strain local governments and contribute to higher water bills for consumers.

Eco-Friendly Alternatives to Chemical Drain Cleaners

Fortunately, there are several eco-friendly alternatives to chemical drain cleaners that can effectively clear clogged drains without compromising the environment or your health. Here are some of the best options:

Natural Drain Cleaners

Several natural cleaning solutions can effectively clear drains without resorting to harsh chemicals. Common ingredients include:

Baking soda and vinegar: When combined, these two household items create a fizzing reaction that can help break down grease and grime in pipes.

Lemon juice: Known for its natural disinfecting properties, lemon juice can help clean drains while leaving behind a fresh scent.

DIY Solutions

For regular maintenance, a mixture of hot water and a plunger can be a simple yet effective way to dislodge blockages. Alternatively, a drain snake can physically remove clogs without the use of chemicals.

Professional Green Cleaning Options

For more stubborn blockages, consider hiring a professional plumber who specializes in eco-friendly methods. Many plumbers now offer green drain cleaning services that use non-toxic solutions and advanced tools like hydro-jetting, which uses high-pressure water to clear blockages without chemicals.

How to Properly Dispose of Chemical Drain Cleaners

If you have leftover chemical drain cleaners, it’s important to dispose of them properly. Pouring them down the drain or toilet only exacerbates the environmental impact. Instead, take unused products to a local hazardous waste disposal facility. Many municipalities offer designated drop-off points for household chemicals, ensuring that these dangerous substances are disposed of safely.

Rethinking Our Approach to Drain Maintenance

Chemical drain cleaners may offer quick fixes, but the long-term environmental and health risks they pose make them a less-than-ideal choice for maintaining your plumbing. By opting for eco-friendly alternatives and implementing safer drain maintenance practices, you can protect both your home and the planet.

As homeowners, it’s our responsibility to make informed choices about the products we use. By being mindful of the environmental and health impacts of chemical drain cleaners, we can ensure a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future for generations to come.

If you’re ready to make the switch to safer, eco-friendly drain maintenance solutions, check out our guide to natural drain cleaning products and sustainable plumbing practices.

Top Pool Design Trends for 2024

The pool design world continues to evolve, with innovative ideas emerging every year. For 2024, pool enthusiasts and homeowners can expect to see a blend of elegance concrete vs fibreglass pool, sustainability, and advanced technology shaping their backyard oasis. Here are the top trends that will dominate pool designs in 2024.

1. Sustainable Pool Designs

As environmental awareness grows, sustainable pool designs are becoming increasingly popular. In 2024, eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient equipment, and water-saving technologies are making a significant impact. Many pool owners are investing in solar heating systems, efficient pumps, and LED lighting to reduce their carbon footprint while enjoying luxury.

2. Natural Pools for a Green Aesthetic

Natural pools are gaining traction as a favorite design choice. Instead of traditional chemical filtration, these pools use plant-based filtration systems. They blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, offering a more organic and eco-friendly swimming experience. These pools are designed to mimic natural water bodies like lakes and ponds, enhancing the surrounding landscape while providing a refreshing and chemical-free environment.

3. Smart Pools with Advanced Technology

Technology is rapidly transforming the way we maintain and use our pools. Smart pools, equipped with automated cleaning systems, chemical monitors, and temperature control, are set to be a huge trend in 2024. Homeowners can manage their pools through smartphone apps, ensuring the water is clean, balanced, and heated just right—without any manual effort.

4. Minimalist Pool Designs

Less is more in 2024, with minimalist pool designs taking center stage. Simple, clean lines paired with neutral colors like grey, white, and beige create a modern, sleek look. This trend focuses on elegant simplicity, making the pool area an extension of a minimalist home's architecture.

5. Infinity Pools Continue to Shine

Infinity pools remain a luxurious option for homeowners in 2024. These pools, with their disappearing edges, provide breathtaking views, especially when placed in properties overlooking oceans, lakes, or even city skylines. The illusion of water flowing endlessly enhances the aesthetic appeal and creates a calming ambiance.

6. Fire and Water Features

The combination of fire and water elements adds a dramatic flair to any pool setting. Expect to see more fire pits, fire bowls, and waterfalls incorporated into pool designs. This juxtaposition not only adds warmth but also elevates the poolside experience, making it a perfect spot for evening relaxation.

7. Customizable Pool Lighting

Lighting plays a critical role in pool design, especially for nighttime use. In 2024, customizable lighting systems allow homeowners to change colors, brightness, and patterns according to their mood or event. LED lights, in particular, are highly energy-efficient and versatile, offering a personalized touch to pool designs.

8. Indoor-Outdoor Pool Integration

Blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces is a trend that’s gaining momentum. In 2024, many homeowners are integrating their pools with both indoor and outdoor living areas. This seamless transition creates a resort-like feel and allows the pool to be enjoyed year-round, regardless of the weather.

9. Plunge Pools for Compact Spaces

For those with limited space, plunge pools are a great solution. These small, deep pools are designed for relaxation rather than swimming. Plunge pools are perfect for urban homes or properties where space is at a premium. They offer a luxurious feel without requiring large outdoor areas.

10. Dark Pool Finishes for a Bold Look

Dark finishes in pool interiors are becoming a popular design choice. Black or dark blue tiles give the water a deeper, more reflective look, creating a mirror-like surface. This trend offers a striking contrast to lighter surrounding areas and adds a modern, bold aesthetic to the pool design.

Conclusion

The pool design trends of 2024 reflect a balance between sustainability, technology, and aesthetic appeal. Whether you're looking to create a natural sanctuary or a high-tech oasis, there are plenty of innovative options to transform your outdoor space into a stylish retreat.

Revolutionizing Cleaning Practices

The Shift Towards Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions

In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards environmentally friendly chemicals for cleaning purposes. Businesses and individuals alike are increasingly recognizing the importance of reducing their environmental footprint and opting for sustainable cleaning options. This article explores the benefits of eco-friendly cleaning chemicals and their role in promoting a healthier planet.

The Environmental Impact of Traditional Cleaning Chemicals

Traditional cleaning chemicals often contain harmful ingredients such as phosphates, chlorine, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These substances can have detrimental effects on both human health and the environment. https://bnkservices.com.au/contact-us/ When washed down drains or disposed of improperly, they can contaminate waterways, harm aquatic life, and contribute to air pollution. Additionally, prolonged exposure to these chemicals can pose risks to the health of cleaning staff and building occupants.

Benefits of Environmentally Friendly Cleaning Chemicals

Environmentally friendly cleaning chemicals offer a host of benefits over their traditional counterparts. They are formulated using biodegradable ingredients that break down naturally without causing harm to the environment. These products are also free from harsh chemicals and toxins, making them safer for both humans and pets. Furthermore, eco-friendly cleaning solutions often come in concentrated forms, reducing packaging waste and transportation emissions.

Reducing Indoor Air Pollution with Green Cleaning Products

Indoor air pollution is a significant concern in many workplaces and homes, often stemming from the use of conventional cleaning chemicals. VOCs released by these products can linger in the air, leading to respiratory issues and exacerbating conditions such as asthma and allergies. By switching to environmentally friendly cleaning chemicals, businesses and homeowners can improve indoor air quality and create healthier living and working environments.

Protecting Water Quality Through Sustainable Cleaning Practices

Water pollution is a pressing global issue, with conventional cleaning chemicals being a significant contributor. When these chemicals are washed down drains or flushed into water systems, they can contaminate rivers, lakes, and oceans, posing risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Environmentally friendly cleaning chemicals are designed to break down harmlessly, minimizing their impact on water quality and preserving fragile ecosystems.

Cleanroom

Meeting Regulatory Standards and Sustainability Goals

As governments around the world implement stricter regulations on chemical usage and environmental protection, businesses are under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices. Switching to environmentally friendly cleaning chemicals not only helps companies comply with regulatory standards but also aligns with their sustainability goals and corporate social responsibility initiatives. By demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship, businesses can enhance their reputation and attract environmentally conscious customers.

The Role of Innovation in Green Cleaning Technology

Advancements in green cleaning technology have paved the way for more effective and sustainable cleaning solutions. Manufacturers are continuously developing new formulations that deliver the same level of performance as traditional chemicals without the environmental drawbacks. From multi-purpose cleaners to carpet shampoos, there is now a wide range of eco-friendly cleaning products available to meet diverse needs and preferences.

Implementing Sustainable Cleaning Practices in Commercial Settings

Commercial facilities, such as offices, hotels, and healthcare facilities, have unique cleaning requirements and challenges. However, with the right approach and products, it is possible to implement sustainable cleaning practices in these environments. Training staff on the proper use and disposal of environmentally friendly cleaning chemicals, investing in eco-friendly cleaning equipment, and partnering with green cleaning companies are all steps businesses can take to reduce their environmental impact.

Environmentally friendly chemicals are revolutionizing the way we clean our premises, offices, and other spaces. By choosing sustainable cleaning solutions, businesses and individuals can protect the environment, improve indoor air quality, and promote healthier living and working environments. With ongoing innovation and a commitment to sustainability, the future of cleaning looks cleaner and greener than ever before.

March 12 - Molly D arrived back in Vero Beach on March 8, a homecoming of sorts. After leaving Ft Lauderdale, our next stop was in Lake Worth. Molly D was able to do an offshore passage. Many dive boats were on the water that day and David and I had to stay vigilant to spot them. Many times we would spot the dive boats with the binoculars and alter course if necessary. Boats are required to stay 300’ away from dive boats. Ok. I’ll just get out my trusty Stanley tape measure for that. We did the best that we could.

Lake Worth at night.

The trip from Lake Worth was 61 miles, so Molly D got an early start.

Leaving Lake Worth at first light

Molly D ran offshore up to Ft Pierce where she entered the Ft Pierce inlet to the ICW. Once on the ICW, Molly D met her first opening bridge.

The first opening bridge of our ICW journey north.

Our journey north now had fixed bridges to deal with. With a top of the VHF antenna height at 64.5’, it is important for us to know how much clearance is available at each 65’ bridge.

Um, I think the clearance board is missing. In my notes for this bridge, I had stated that clearance was ok if the 4th fender board was at the water. We had more of the 4th board showing, so the bridge height was ok.

When Molly D arrived in Vero, we were lucky enough to raft with friends on Cutting Class. Cutting Class is homeported in Mystic.

David and Dan discussing rafting line adjustment.

In keeping with tradition, we celebrated our arrival in Vero with dinner at Riverside Cafe. Not a fancy place, but the food is good and the sunset view is even better.

Ahhh. In time for happy hour drink prices!

Sunset view of the Barber Bridge

It was a busy weekend in Vero. We had dinner out on Friday. Saturday we went to the farmers market and attended a free concert at night. On Sunday (after the morning rain had cleared), we attended the Art Under the Oaks show in Riverside Park.

Art show in Riverside Park

When we were in Vero during November-January, work was being done at the Veterans Memorial Park. The work has been completed on the bridge and the park has reopened. Work is continuing on the WWII section of the park.

Veterans Memorial Park

David and I have done much walking in Vero. I’ve almost worn out my second pair of shoes since we arrived in Vero in November! Glad that we are able to do the walking!

Beautiful ocean views to walk to every day. Doesn’t get old.

There is one route that David and I walk that meanders through neighborhoods. Much more scenic than walking down commercialized Beachland Blvd. There is a slight problem with the scenic walk. David and I must dodge dozens and dozens of inch worms hanging on their webs from the abundance of trees. Can’t walk a straight line. Can’t divert your eyes from where you are walking. When you think you are dodging an inch worm, the wind blows it in front of your path. A homeowner we passed was amused by our pointing out of every inch worm and our wandering path. He told us that there’s no getting away from them and that we need to swing a fishing pole in front of us in order to clear the inch worms away. Great idea!! I didn’t have a fishing pole, but I did pick up a dead palm frond to use instead. So I waved that frond back and forth in front of us and I cleared out many inch worms from our path. I just hope nobody got my antics on camera. lol!

We leave Vero on Friday. Many things still to be done before leaving. Still more fun to be had.
