A Lunch Trip to Horn Pond (Boston, USA)
Corporate lunch is extremely short hour, but you can stretch it by adding a few minutes before 12 and a few minutes after 1PM. To take part in this Clean Together gala event, we had to run to supermarket to buy 13-gallon trash bags and 10 pairs of almost surgical gloves, and do not forget to pick a lunch for $5.95.
We drove to Horn Pond in Woburn. This pond is hidden well in a quiet neighborhood. You would need to take an auspiciously called "Woburn Parkway". We are not a New Jersey any longer, and parkways here are not wider than you average driveway. Very quiet, green and modest.
We parked on Water street - no meters here. First - lunch. As soon as we hit the bench facing the pond, well-trained ducks immediately stepped out of the water and were presenting their shiny feather coats to new arrivals. It was definitely a gay duck couple. It seemed almost strange, that they are watching us, waiting for us, and they are very happy welcome us here.
To make a long a story short (too late for that), we started to "Clean Together" around 12:15. Pedestrian portion of Woburn Parkway called here a Causeway is relatively clean and maintained. Most of the garbage that we found was in the water and it was mostly bottles and cans.
But out next bottle retrieval was unexpectedly interrupted by guardian-swan. Yes - white SWAN. The creature was sent to us to relay some important message. I've never seen a swan that close in my life. As I was trying to retrieve the bottles from water he would extend his gorgeous neck and hiss and almost attack! The SWAN can do that?
Anyway, now after encountering two of god's species, we were overwhelmed with emotions. We tried to decipher, what he was trying to convey to us. We quickly gathered many, many plastic and glass and Styrofoam containers on both sides of the causeway and headed back to "base".
The scale was conveniently hidden in the bushes, so we used it to measure our luck. It was 5 lb this time. "A good catch for a lunch break". We looked at the clock - it was 12:28. Time to get back to work and play table tennis.
Suggestions to the Web Admin
My story was well formatted in Notepad. With beautiful paragraphs and important statements in bold letters. But current posting process ignores all the formatting, and makes the entire text one giant BLOB! Ugly! The way to fix this is to replace new lines with <br> just before displaying text on the screen.
