Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Happy birthday, hippocampus!
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.
Happy belated birthday Sarah! Good luck with the dentist!
Thanks you all!!
Happy Belated Birthday Sara! I hope the root canal goes smoothly.
Happy Birthday, hippocampus! And happy book submission day!
Well sarameg, you deserve a multi-day festival to celebrate your birthday. Happy belated birthday! It sounds like you had a lovely day.
Crap, I realized this weekend that I'm already a couple of weeks overdue for a hair cut/color, but looking at my calendar, I don't think I'll be able to get into her until next week at least. Ah well.
