I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

So my friend for whom I was searching "hipster" just suggested the uber-hipster tinned seafood place, so yeah.

Is it the place in New Orleans? (N7) Or is this a thing in other places?

What is a trash wheel?

A water garbage collector. They sit at the outlet of a waterway into the harbor. Boons guide floating trash into their gaping maw, and powered by solar and/or the flow of water(hence the wheel part, they have a wheel like a mill or paddle boat for when water is rushing by), they conveyer belt up the incoming trash into floating dumpsters to be hauled away. We've got 2 now & other harbors are signing up for this Baltimore born contraption.

Ours also got googley eyes and anthromorphicated.

If I move to Baltimore, I think Mr. Trash Wheel will be my boyfriend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sounds like a good birthday, Sara!

And hope hippocampus's is as well!

Is it the place in New Orleans? (N7) Or is this a thing in other places?

It's a thing everywhere now, I guess? This place is here.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Well sarameg, you deserve a multi-day festival to celebrate your birthday. Happy belated birthday! It sounds like you had a lovely day.
