today the wave's were crushing. copp still swam and i got drenched in camera. i wanted to end the poisoner thread by clarifying that Levy the Poisoner is a volunteer steward of the park service and i assume his poison spraying is mandated by the city. i'm somehow not surprised really that the the park service would poison a nature sanctuary, and yet i'm deeply saddened. and as i too eat berries there i probably ingested ppm's of levy's poison. i keep thinking we can't get much more cynical than this, but i'm sure i will be surprised again.
