Whether it's ground up by surf, or bulged apart by rusting metal, or photodegraded to bits by the sun. (A big miss on my part, not linking back to my old post on photodegrading. I'll try to fix that with a follow-up I'm planning.)Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432284983902312892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156859352292058715.post-40117473062598300962011-01-23T00:30:05.715-05:002011-01-23T00:30:05.715-05:00This is a wonderful post!

It sounds strange to say that I WISH it were a floating island of trash. We could search for it, find it, take it apart, and wipe our hands. The truth is far more insidious, and frightening. Thanks for keeping the torch burning here. Always appreciate your articulate posts. <br /><br />SaraSara Bayleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874563094064523797noreply@blogger.com
