Could've titled this post "Why I now HATE pallet fires" or "Having fun with Tetanus." Organized a beach cleanup for Humboldt Surfriders this past Saturday, since it was International/California Coastal Cleanup Day. Imagine that way back in 1978, this now International cleanup effort was started right here in Humboldt, by our own Northcoast Environmental Center. We spent 4 hours on our hands and knees, raking fire spots, and using magnetic poles to pick up the nails and staples left behind from burning wood pallets. Lots of broken (and some melted) glass, aluminum cans, and plenty of other trash (including 3 truck tires) were also picked up. Guess this is all penance for stupid stuff I did as a kid.
