They look annoyed as they realize what happened but decide against confronting the parks employee and continue on their way. A fire truck arrives with its lights flashing. Before anyone gets out of the truck, the parks employee explains with a few words and gestures that they are not needed. The fire truck continues on its way.
The parks employee removes the plastic inner receptacle from the metal can that contains it. He lifts it high to clear the metal can then lets it fall hard on the sidewalk. This causes water to splash high in the air and land on some passers by. They stop, startled, and look around to determine the source of the water.
A cargo van stops in front of this scene. It has been pushing an orange traffic cone lodged under its front fender. Although the van is obstructing traffic, the driver remains in the driver seat checking his phone before he gets out to remove the cone.
Several other uniformed guards stand around. A parks employee (different uniform) arrives with a large watering can. He empties the contents into the same trash receptacle.
A uniformed security guard emerges from le pain quotidien with a plastic pitcher of water. Walks across the street and pours the water into a trash can

Once upon a time people were talking about things like “Barbenheimer” and not the imminent collapse of society
Matewan is on TCM.com if you have access, always a worthwhile view. Giving me the distinct impression that we’re all living in a company town.

I have complicated feelings about TikTok but one thing that’s been a mainstay on my feed is Colorball Champions. From somewhere in Indonesia, a rotating cast of women (and a few men) are playing this game all day, every day, with usually at least a thousand people watching. I don’t understand what they are saying but I watch a game nearly every day.

YOUR CLAM YEAR IN REVIEW
- There are over ten thousand known species of clams and tens of thousands more undescribed. Please do your part and find a few species next year.
- Cultured bivalves alone help remove over 49,000 tons of nitrogen from our waterways every year, along with other pollutants (with the contribution of wild bivalves several times that). They charge us $0 for this service!
- We don't have data on how often you thanked clams, but it wouldn't hurt to do it more next year.
