I have a whole box of those, old ones, back at my parents house.

Are those antiques washing up? Or do they still use glass ones somewhere?

mark, they are still washing up... there are millions of them bobbing around from decades ago. a good storm with westerly winds blows them to shore. My father-in-law found one with japanese writing on the beach on the gulf coast of texas.. how did it get there?

most floats are now made out of plastic or foam, but i believe some fishermen are still using glass ones.

Wow that's kind of hard to believe they are still out there in those numbers.

Kind of off topic, but I read about someone visiting a knoll or something way out in the pacific and it was littered with lightbulbs. What a depressing thing, to go to some utterly remote place and see junk like that.

The shoes, kids...womens...

What a freak night.

dont get me started...

on the midway islands, the baby albatross are all dyeing because their mothers are coming back to feed them plastic bottle caps and cigarette lighters that they found floating.. so sad.

I know there are companys trying to make degradable plastics. Let's hope they can be used in the market. I suppose it would be a challange, to sell stuff in plastic containers that will start disintegrating at some point. I wonder how that will play out.

You should see the trees here on the Blackstone... full of plastic crap. "Flood ornaments". Maybe I'll get a picture and post it.

Anyway, nice post. I enjoyed watching it.
