Albatross

Ah! well a-day! what evil looks
Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung.

Bronx Story was on...Robert DiNero in good scene when he takes his son to give back the money from the crap game...

Then a Molly Ringwald teen movie...

I had something in mind for tonight's post, but can't recall at moment!!...lemeethink...

Well, the Bronx Story can fill in here...two stories again...working Father and gangster ...Godfather I guess....and a two story subplot with the Black girlfriend trying to determine if her new found Italian boyfriend beat up her brother...I didn't follow that all too close...trying to google search how to take night shots with the 12x!...the biker's in the bar harks back to Arnold in T2!

Oh, now I remember...at the back of this months Sierra Club magazine is a pic of a dead Albatross..dead awhile as it is near gone, and the contents of it's stomach revealed...beside it a circular array pic of these contents...all manner of plastic and other trash eaten...and a Buchwald quote, which I haven't read out...I was showing it to everyone...with the usual responses of sardonic humor!

Maybe I can find it on web..brb...that was easy...

quote

"And Man created the plastic bag and the tin and aluminum can and the cellophane wrapper and the paper plate and the disposable bottle, and this was good because Man could then take his automobile and buy his food all in one place and he could save that which was good to eat in the refrigerator and throw away that which had no further use. And pretty soon the earth was covered with plastic bags and aluminum cans and paper plates and disposable bottles, and there was nowhere left to sit down or to walk. And Man shook his head and cried, 'Look at all this God-awful litter.'"
--Art Buchwald, 1970
