Cap-tainment

o The broken white marker-pipe remains as if spear-tipped near the Treasure Coast Hospice thrift shop. Four plastic bottles have been placed over the sharp point beside the sidewalk on SE Ocean Boulevard until the present time. The first and second plastic-bottle 'caps' used were Coca-Cola bottles in primo condition, and both were dislodged during phases of Tropical Storm Fay here in Martin County, FL; the third bottle used as protective cap was a weathered, trash-category ribbed Crystal Geyser bottle already disintegrating, that one quickly gone as placed; and the most recent 'cap' has been a sturdy 'Glaceau' plastic bottle found near the retaining pond on Kingswood Terrace Road that spins on its wider bottle-top after placement over the ersatz spear-tip. All such plastic bottles have been placed over the damaged PVC pipe to prevent any samurai-style impalements. [As of November 2009 -- Schwepps]

o Since the nearby riverbanks have been divided-up and claimed to be private property now supporting cement-block habitations, the simple task of collecting riverbed pebbles for plant pot drainage purposes has been completely stymied. We may see the pebbles at close range from the Riverwalk wooden dock-like structure built along the riverbank.

o Another 'baby-in-a-box' image has been encountered as a label placed beneath the cover of a styrene storage container, showing the line-image of a baby sitting in a square box with the lid nearby, resembling a person sitting in a square swimming pool with lid nearby, and is additionally labeled with a printed "suffocation risk" tag.
