From the punt dock at Magdalene Bridge, first back up a little to see Magdalene’s own (unsung) fellows’ garden, with willows overhanging the water. Next comes St John’s, with the master’s garden on your left (spot the weeping cherry), then the Bridge of Sighs, followed by views across the Meadow to your right. Pass under lovely Trinity Bridge, admiring the Wren Library at left, then glimpse the famous fellows’ garden of Clare College (cannas in season). Next comes King’s College, with the celebrated views back to college and chapel. This is followed on the left by the fellows’ and president’s garden of Queens’ College and, on the other side of the river, Queens’ Grove, with a pair of great elm trees. The wooden Mathematical Bridge (see above) provides a fitting conclusion – or overture, as punts can be hired from this end, too" Thanks for the tour.😃 Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Thanks, John. Yes, this is one of a half-dozen senior Chinese women who have found their way to NYC. There were two who exchanged a greeting with me when we would pass. (I have about 4 or 5 words in Mandarin.) They worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk. When I first moved back to Lower Manhattan, after leaving Oxfordshire in '87, I would see the occasional old woman who had had her feet bound, an evil tradition akin to slavery. They are long gone now. I wonder if that practice has been stopped in China? Statues like sings are a worthy stock subject, eh? I walked up to the bombed-out church in the heat yesterday to snap the statue of the day of friendship in 1914 WW 1. The church was bombed in '42. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Vancouver, where real estate prices are through the roof, some Chinese people collect cans and bottles to help pay off their mortgages. One lady even drives her big SUV through the alley behind our place on recycling days inspecting the contents of the plastic bins. There are also more traditional "canners" similar to the one Edo photographed in NYC. I think it's a fairly universal phenomenon. There's a reason why the Chinese do so well financially wherever they go. You get ten cents each for wine bottles here, which is what contributors at a certain big microstock agency now receive. 😎 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, which probably shows I am comfortable financially. It also is because I very rarely buy the beverages that come in cans with a deposit and I put them in recycling.

Betty LaRue Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 In Oklahoma City, the trash was on the same bill as the water, a municipal service. I had a blue bin for recycling and used it religiously. In Wichita, the trash services are private companies, not a part of the city services. You pick which one you want and contract with them. I don’t have recycling. There are several companies who service this neighborhood, and I see NO recycling bins anywhere I drive in the city. A shame. A canner would be out of luck, here. They would have to sort through nasty trash and garbage when people take their receptacles to the curb, and would probably make a mess doing so. it’s possible there might be some large bins somewhere in a parking lot where one would have to drive to recycle, but I’ve personally not seen any. I did see a used clothing (maybe winter coats?) drop somewhere, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were extremely well organised, plus wine bottles paid double that, and no 60% commission, maybe i should retrain. I used to feel bad for more down and out people who had no chance to compete actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanderingemu Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 as for this thread, no last minute 50% sales. end of an era of being treated at least like an equal. oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
