painty

good evening,
today was paint day. it was good to do visually recognizable work again, after yesterdays yard cleanup. it reminded me, however, of the environmental disaster that gets overshadowed by the human disaster that occurred in 2005. After we cleaned up our paint stuff today, we rinsed out our tools in the street, and watched as the PVA paint primer washed down the storm drain (and ultimately into the mississipi/gulf coast. it reminded me that during the time that huge portions of the city were flooded, tons of oil, chemicals, and garbage floated out to sea. that made me feel less bad about washing paint down the storm drain.
