Discarded TV

I came across this broken TV while looking for other things. The screen has been smashed, and you can see some of the internals. It's interesting to see how thick the glass of a TV (called the envelope) is, and why CRT TVs are so heavy. That thick glass is along the entire tube. It's really not surprising why LCDs and Plasmas have taken their place just in terms of having to move them.

Garbage in the Monatiquot River

The Monatiquot River in Braintree, Ma is a dirty, polluted river. Infested with PCBs and fertilizer run-off from the Braintree Municipal Golf Course.



It winds through Braintree almost unseen. Most people don't even realize the river is there.



In addition to the chemical pollution, shopping carts end up at the water, abandoned. The city removes them periodically, but they always return.
