Send in the cavalry!

 
Thousands of college students and partygoers were seen 
partying through the night and left behind hordes of garbage 
in what's expected to be the largest spring break ever 
as Covid continues to fizzle out.  


Workers in high-vis jackets were seen picking up piles 
of bottles and cans from the shoreline in a bid to preserve 
the health of sea turtles and try and keep Florida's ocean clean.  


Garbage trashed the shoreline from South Point pier to the 
Second Street lifeguard stand after just one day on the beach. 
And local volunteers want action to be taken against 
those who left the beach 'with no regard for cleanliness'.

  3. Lets see.. a bunch of young adults (kids) fly/drive in to Florida, rent rooms, buy food and buy assorted adult beverages (spend money). They go out to the beach, get wild & drunk and drop litter. Later they are moved off the beach so that littler can be picked up. I'd imagine they will do it all again as soon as they are allowed back on the beach.
    I'm thinking if they didn't burn the town down it might end up being a fair deal for the merchants in the area.

  4. It's great for business. That's why they do it. The cleanups and the lockups are only a part of the price they pay.

One thing leads to another - in my head, anyway...

The outage had a significant and unacceptable impact on public safety, including disruptions to reliable access to emergency communications ...
