Plastic Man
Another highlight from Wednesday: In the evening they had a limbo
contest, as Caribbean resorts and cruises are wont to do. I won first
place, but not without a good fight from a four-foot-tall,
nine-year-old girl. (It was mostly adults in the competition, but most
were weeded out in the first few rounds.) The prize: an award with a
plastic cruise ship on it and 50 points for the red team. Right now,
the red team is handily beating the blue and white teams and I can take
credit for about 1 percent of their points.
I plan to leave the award behind so they can reuse it on the next
cruise. I've been reading The World Without Us (which I
recommend) and it's made me extra conscious about the excess of shaped
plastic in our world.
