I investigated into why there would still be trash in Three Mile Creek after the big Toulminville and Three Mile Creek cleanup. Vice President Councilman Fred Richardson Jr, boasted about all the people the City had working the event. When I ask Mr. Richardson how many City workers were out in a boat removing trash from Three Mile Creek, like City people do when they don't want to tell the truth, they decide to go silent. The councilman's silence pretty much told me the answer. The factual evidence came from a Fox 10 News report as shown above. Look at just how many people it takes to remove garbage from a City of Mobile Park shoreline because the City Parks won't keep their park clean. How many were out on the water in a boat removing trash from Three Mile Creek? ZERO. NADA. ZILCH. Zero is the Typical effort of the CIty of Mobile puts into removing trash from trash impaired waterways. That is why the creeks in Mobile like Three Mile Creek are never clean. Where does much of the trash in Mobile's polluted waterways come from? I went for a bike ride today after having been on an enjoyable vacation Florida. The bike ride brought me back to the realities in Mobile. UGLY! Butt Ugly! Same ol Same ol... Click on any image below to bring up a photo gallery view to see larger size images with commentary. Seeing all that trash seen on the bike ride put me in a sour mood. Then I pass by this guy using a loud speaker to broadcast his preaching across the grocery store parking lot. Hehhehheh. Some of you probably know where I'm going with this. So I went over and politely ask the guy what church he was with. "Don't need a church if you have Jesus." Then he stuck the bible in the air and started babbling Jesus crap to me. That did it. "Hey mister. You really believe in that book?" Guy obvious does. "Can you tell me the ten laws or commandments that are at the foundation of the Bible?" More babble. "Can you name the Ten Commandments?" He says no but he can flip to the page and read them from the Bible. The goober does not know the Ten Commandments yet he is going to hold up a bible in my face and preach about Jesus? Who creates evil? The Lord. The Bible says so in Isaiah 45:7 Then the Lord puts the evil in grocery store parking lots to spew babble in order to get your money in his golden plastic garbage can sitting on a golden plastic pedestal while he tells you basic biblical morals don't matter. Jeesh!

According to Fox News the spend happy Government has given more than $20 BILLION dollars to Pakistan in the decade between 2001 and 2011. USA Today says Obama has just given Pakistan another $1.6 BILLION dollars.
Meantime on the home front, the City of Mobile can't afford to use garbage cans with lids to keep out the wild dogs which roam the City in packs or the intelligent black birds who love human food. The above image is all too typical of what is seen in City of Mobile parks. Billions of U.S. tax dollars given to a county that really, really hates Americans? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/world_now/2012/09/pakistan-.html No wonder why Americans are growing increasingly indignant at Congress's wastes. Congress is giving our hard earned tax dollars away while America's infrastructure decays. Within the next decade it is expected that almost 50 percent of America's bridges will be structurally deficient. Want to know why there is no bridge being built over Mobile River? The Country of Pakistan has the money that could have been used to build it. http://t4america.org/resources/bridges/ In recent months there has been much hoopla about Dauphin Island Parkway Peninsula groups doing things to clean up the South Side's trashy image. Thought I'd take a looksee and report on how the groups are doing. Without the City of Mobile getting involved and without local Businesses getting involved, the South Side will keep its trashy image. The South Side still looks like the dump it always has been. If DIPP wants the South Side to be clean, someone is going to have to go up and down Dauphin Island Parkway daily removing the public trash. Same Ol Shit. Sidewalks and Streets are not being maintained. Convenience Stores and Shopping Centers are not being held accountable for keeping their properties clean. The State of Alabama ignores the garbage along Dauphin Island Parkway. The state of affairs around dumpsters is pathetic and no one gives a shit. Click on any image below to bring up a larger view gallery with commentary. McNally Park along the Buccaneer Yacht Club Canal was the cleanest I've ever seen it. At first I thought the City of Mobile finally did some litter cleaning. But, knowing the City doesn't give a shit, I asked around. Unbelievably, it wasn't any of the DIP groups doing the clean up at McNally Park, it was Lee, a volunteer who lives over near Fairhope going along with a Walmart Bag picking up trash. The Eastern Shore is so clean there is no trash to pick up so he comes to Mobile. That is pathetically funny and sadly true. Today's kayak trip was from Dog River Bridge up to Arlington Park, a little over 7 miles.
Good neighbors Mobile Airport Authority and University of South Alabama Foundation leave Mobile's storm water trash on their property helping to make Mobile UGLY. The U.S. Coast Guard Sector Mobile is only 2-3 miles north of where most of these photos were taken. How many people does the City of Mobile have devoted to removing trash from Mobile Bay? Zero. You can tell. As long as that number is Zero, expect Mobile Bay shorelne trash to get denser. No one taking care of the waterways in Mobile? Unbelievable. Enjoy all your crabs and shrimp and fish caught in polluted Mobile Bay. Click on any photo below to bring up the larger image viewer with comments. The trash found in Perch Creek is not related to dense urban population or huge shopping centers. The trash in Perch Creek is related to the poorly maintained the roadside of Dauphin Island Parkway, the poorly maintained McNally Park, and the small Driftwood neighborhood slum. When I say poorly maintained, that means roadside litter is rarely removed by the agencies responsible for mowing and maintaining the ditches and roadsides. Besides that, the trash currently polluting Prech Creek can also be directly attributed to the asinine watershed management policy of the federal government, the state of Alabama, Mobile County, the city of Mobile and local environmental groups. Their combined watershed management policy does not include removing trash from any of Mobile's trash impaired canals, creeks, rivers and wetlands. How dumb is that? Above Photos: Keep Mobile Beautiful coordinated a Trash Cleanup along Dauphin Island Parkway this morning. Volunteers successfully cleaned 6 miles of Dauphin Island Parkway on both sides of the road. I rode along the sidewalk south from the interstate looking for trash and all the trash was gone. I've never seen this roadway so clean. Volunteers did an outstanding job. If the trash isn't there, I can't take photos of it. Below Photos: Unfortunately, that is only 6 out of over 500 miles of roads that was cleaned. The majority of cigarette butts were not picked up and will be flushed into your waterways. You may not smoke but you're drinking those 60 cancer producing chemicals they put in cigarettes. Thank a smoker litterer today for your cancer or the cancer of a loved one. Click on any image above to see a larger views with commentary.
Many authorities will tell you that Mobile is littered because of poor education. We send kids to school for 12 years and they graduate not knowing right from wrong. If Mobile is full of litter because people are ignorant, then it is the fault of the education system in schools, in the homes and in the churches where morals are taught. Education? What a lame excuse. People litter because there is no painful punishment for the crime if caught. Above Photo: Scum Jones' poor leadership in Mobile has yielded City Parks as being the problem instead of the solution with reference to public garbage being released into Mobile creeks, rivers, and Mobile Bay. This pathetic scene above is far too common in City of Mobile Parks. Someone should be fired!
Below Photo: 1 in 6 people go hungry in the State of Alabama (so the news reports say) and the great fishermen in Alabama catch sharks, cut out the teeth and discard the rest of the edible shark. Shark attacks killed 12 people worldwide in 2011, while people kill more than 30 million sharks every year. (1) Rather skewed ratio don't you think? Some say overfishing has killed off more than 90 percent of the shark population in the world and it is upsetting the balance of life in the oceans. But who cares - the Government makes money off Fishing Licenses. Plus, killing an alien life form with whom man cannot communicate with makes man feel superior. Above Photo: Helen Wood Park, a local fishing spot, is typically lined with litter. Trouble is this park is at the edge of Mobile Bay so the illegal public litter ends up polluting Mobile Bay.
The bungling Federal Government and Police Tactical Units who despite having the most sophisticated tracking tools in the world and thousands of police officers involved in the hunt, failed to find the Boston Marathon bomber suspect who was on foot and leaving a trail of blood. A Watertown resident had to point out the location of the suspect who was a block away. That reminds me of the incompetence of the City of Mobile and Mobile Police who despite having video technology tools at their disposal, can't figure out who is trashing the City of Mobile parks to put an end to the criminal littering activity. Of course, it is not the police who should be taking care of the litter issues, it is after all, City of Mobile municipal code that makes litter illegal. Oh, that's right, it is the City of Mobile is in charge of the writing tickets to deter littering, not the police. The Big Picture? The City of Mobile Litter Unit is dysfunctional. Below Photo: McNally Park, a local fishing spot, is typically lined with litter. Trouble is this park is at the edge of Mobile Bay so the illegal public litter ends up polluting Mobile Bay. This is one of the reasons why the people who think spending more money to teach the public not to litter is not going to solve the litter problem. The City of Mobile still uses an inferior trash collection system that is conducive to the littering of parks and roadway ditches regardless of what people do.
