Thursday was a gorgeous spring day in Charm City---perfect for a stroll through the Inner Harbor followed by lunch at the American Visionary Art Museum's amazing restaurant. (Which included a hard-earned bottle of superb Victory Pilsner from Downingtown, Pa.) While wandering around the harbor Uncle Jack came upon two city employees hard at work removing trash from the waters adjacent to the walkways. (Other larger and more mechanized trash removers operate in the open harbor). Their combined efforts are needed year-round to keep the picturesque harbor from completely filling up with detritus inasmuch as it receives the outflow from several polluted rivers which empty into it 24 hours a day. Even with all the city's pollution control efforts the harbor gets extremely ripe during the summer months and has been known to give off exceedingly unpleasant odors. Not so yesterday when working conditions on the water were idyllic as the picture suggests.
