Today was a bridgewalk day, and a number of photos were made. The streetlamps on the bridges have fluted metal columns that hum with their own special sound during wind and vehicular turbulence interaction.
Another broken Budweiser bottle encountered on the south-side walkway, bridge over St. Lucie River (Okeechobee Waterway). A number of bicyclists prefer to use the walkway rather than join the vehicular traffic (same as users of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA, although one side of that bridge was designated bikes-only).
Upon reaching Sewall's Point, entry to the north side of the bridge over the Indian River Lagoon also gave access to a walkway/vehicle lanes leading to the "western island", where a few picnic tables and some rusting grills signal some kind of rest stop. There, a police officer in a police cruiser was conducting surveillance of the traffic moving over that longer bridge. Within the lagoon shallows were observed some small fish schooling, and also a ray accompanied by a small billfish. Suddenly, a man began playing bagpipes near a parked small SUV and the police cruiser. How un-Floridian is that? Not quite a full-size island but rather an isle, photos taken of rusting metal objects on shore and in use on land were quickly made. The bases of the streetlamps were seen to be embedded in concrete that jut boxlike from the decks of the spans.
While returning to Stuart via the north sides of the two bridges, a 'missing person' poster was again seen as placed on a traffic-button pole during years past, showing a headshot of a young red-haired teen/woman -- whether she is still missing or not is not known. The return walk to the mainland encountered a large empty Timberline Cypress Mulch plastic bag, a piece of worn cardboard box with drops and dribbles of a brownish-red substance on it, a 'Miss Vickie's hand-picked jalapeno pepper' potato-chip bag, more brown Budweiser bottle fragments, a 'Trim Rite Auto Trim and Accessories' business card, a shattered/flattened cheap clear-plastic party cup, and half-part of a white styrofoam grocery tray. In the deck roadway at the end of the bridge where it connects with St. Lucie Boulevard and SE Ocean Boulevard, a lone and worn black rubberoid-handled screwdriver lay in the bike lane, together with a short length of rusted metal picture-wire. A single penny also lay on the walkway over the river.
The penny remained where it lay, while the other items were gathered up (as if there especially for me) in the mulch bag and were deposited in a dumpster near the Kingswood condo complex entry/exitway. Crows flocked near the lagoon, and perched on the streetlamps.

the sharkfinder code: becoming a better version of yourself
Yesterday's hike around the Witham Airport area in Stuart, FL, also encountered pennies dropped on the sidewalk where Old St. Lucie Road becomes Indian Street -- no random occurrence to anyone living in San Francisco, CA, after the earthquake of 1989 where pennies would be found in the middle of streets run over time and time again by vehicular traffic until defaced and rough -- that in a city that boasts both an Old historic Mint and operational United States Mint buildings.
In the 1950s, glass Lincoln banks were manufactured and predictably contained the household pennies. 'What would Jesus do?' queries among contemporary religious-dialogue addicts in part refer to dodge-or-smash possibilities nearby such banks.
Again, as after a previous armadillo death just outside the Kingswood condominium complex, ants are on the prowl -- bigger ants are entering the condo unit, whereas before the small, young ants could be found scavenging in garbage pail and their volcano-like sand-piled anthills continue to dominate some portions of the lawn area.

evidence of a strategy
Today was a fine day for a hike down (southward) St. Lucie Boulevard to Old St. Lucie Road with some time walking along Dixie Highway here in Martin County.
First discovery -- the largeish black SUV that almost took my face off mere days ago while I was standing on a center roadway median waiting to cross when the lane was clear (there was no crosswalk, and it was obvious that the driver felt 'allowed' to intimidate me by choosing the closest not the farthest of the two southbound lanes when turning onto the roadway from a connecting road). This SUV was the only vehicle parked in a Martin County golf course parking lot on St. Lucie Boulevard that was backed in to park facing the lot's driving lane which meant that its one back-bumper license plate could not be viewed from the road.
Next discovery -- two more green Heineken bottles near what was once an animal tunnel become (another) cement drain very near the river. One bottle was artfully smashed around the tunnel entry/exit beside the sidewalk where the Boulevard becomes the Old ...Road; the other rolled hither and yon on the sidewalk proper. That the previously described now-stenching dead armadillo was being intimidated forward and backward in the district accounts for the ghastly demise, and remains not fit for a tortilla.
A very large flock of crows and starlings was situated at about the midpoint of the Old...Road, which suddenly changes name to 'Indian Street' where a turn-off leads through some impressive banyan trees (both sides of the road) to Sandsprit Park.
Dixie Highway, east side, features a ditchlike slough that has some rusting old-timey pipelines extended over the marshy water -- probably more rusted than expected since the hurricanes and Tropical Storm Fay flooded the locale. There is Witham Airport and a Plastisteel company, as well as a small plaza that includes 'Mathers Engineering' offices. Flashback to Bradford Township in McKean County, PA, where a shorter rusted delivery-pipe with similar conditions was found across the road from the Forest Oil Company offices on High Street Extension a few years ago -- similar because extending over a water-stream ditch, but with a gaping hole that sent water elsewhere during snowmelt and rainstorms at the intersection with Rutherford Road comingling with Rutherford Run. Members of the Mathers family resided in nearby Degolia, PA.
It's entirely possible that a backpacker found dead years ago on a trail near Palm Beach International Airport should have been instead hiking the sandy trail through Witham Airport in Stuart, FL.
Some kind of 'Filidelphia' group was preparing to accommodate an event within a large tent situated near the Martin County Fairgrounds.

go figger
Another electronic update from the Alliance Francaise in San Francisco, CA, describes "an Exclusive Exposition...being internationally acclaimed Master Artist Blagojce...'Art Doesn't Know Boundaries'..." upcoming plus "new artwork by Tamer Youssef...'Le Monde de Caricature de Tamer Youssef2'..."
How such upcoming art exhibit activity may have contributed to journalistic headlines describing "disgraced IL governor Rod Blagojevich" and recent accounts of an Iraqi throwing a shoe at President Bush is anyone's conjecture (e.g., perhaps even traceable to the sociopolitical significance of the small town of Mt. Jewett in Pennsylvania).

the 'can't say no' crowd
The world's first oil refinery is in historical records as being built in what is now Mckean County. PA, within one of the planet's most unusual watersheds -- the Tun'a Creek flows northward and upward along the region's mountainsides (the Allegheny Mountain range).
In the 1950s/60s, the 'Loyal Order of the Rainbow' was formed in that PA/NY watershed region, and primarily recruited girls (the 'Rainbow Girls') who had relatives working in the oil industry, with intent to serve that population exclusively. Because the oil industry prevents volcanoes as a fundamental and historical raison d'etre, girls could not easily decline membership unless they could state "other obligations" and were continuously castigated with demand-calls if they would not join after formal printed invitations were mailed out.
The appearance of the 'chosen' girls was a clue to the somewhat humorous origins of the group concept, being girls born with black hair that changed color to reddish-brown when exposed to sunlight -- the same as does oil when it seeps to the surface of the ground and is changed by the heat of direct sunlight and oxygen exposure. Therefore, ambivalent feelings about the selective recruitment and 'loyal order' were and are necessary, especially since the oil industry has its own special and possible dangers.
Speculation about the recruitment of young boys to become 'Rainbow Boys' has apparently been shelved in favor of a 'Rainbow Women' organization -- a reorientation perhaps necessary after the abduction and death of six-year-old, red-haired Adam Walsh in Hollywood, FL. It is entirely possible that the disappearance of toddler Caylee Anthony is also linked with the Loyal Order of the Rainbow. Both surnames are also found within the San Francisco, CA, watershed region where a 'special' historical palm tree was transplanted to Golden Gate Park from Pacific Island environs more than a century ago. In the state of Florida, palm trees grow and propagate naturally and are found both inland and along water-stream shorelines, although continuous and heavy traffic flow (fueled by the oil industry) has a negative effect upon palm-seed germination (such motorist population no doubt favoring the dead nut).

oh WOW
o Last night I clicked on the Palm Beach County, FL, website as directed within one of their ads published in the Palm Beach Post newspaper, seeking their thrift-store listings. Naively, I thought that the Thrift Store section would list all the available books for sale in their stocks. Not so.
However, today the Internet news has listed a report about an earthquake in South Carolina. Two years ago, I received a telephone call from a SC area code after relaying information to a Palm Beach TV station tipline about the lack of safe sidewalk access into plazas in this Martin County area (there are crosswalks within the plaza parking lots, but no pathways from streetside sidewalks into the plazas). Has an occult network of cheerleaders rattled SC, using south FL TV contact and Internet use information as reference? Stay tuned.
o Not another suicide bombing -- thanks to an iPod internal memory and e-mail capability? The Internet journalism has also today described old dynamite found in a Paris, France, department store today -- days after comment was made to Blogger.com Blogspot website about a dead person found under a tree near miles of mid-road barriers outside Palm Beach, FL.

tea and tot-moms
This month's Topix.net website describes 'Website of the Week: Reel Sassy' as Stuart, FL, news -- i.e., a new clothing store opening just before possible remains of missing toddler Caylee Anthony were found near her home in Orlando ('Anthony's" is the name of a number of womenswear stores in FL).
The America's Most Wanted http://www.amw.com/ website describes a missing mom in Hawaii who has 'Sassy' tattooed on her ankle. A woman named Corrie Anderson, another missing mom, was last seen in Jamestown, NY. There is an overall pattern of missing moms that involves them parking and leaving a vehicle near/in a wooded area, then 'disappearing'.
