For such a dense area, I actually never find anything. The city is constantly being cleaned, with street cleaners always that day after bin collection day.
I occasionally see waste after a heavy storm and broken glass on a SAT morning but on the whole, it's not so much.
Stuff coming out of the see is a different story

Today it was a mangled stuffie, a horse or something, with stuffing oozing out. I didn't even slow down.

Dudes! You guys find the best stuff! (envy x 100!) My haul tends more toward trash and dead animals. Last one was a tiny ruby-throated hummingbird. Very sad. Also a bicycle; loaded up with someones stuff (aka trash), it was sitting on a side street, well into the lane, all day yesterday. No idea what that was about.

A couple of weeks ago I found a piece of blue 1" nylon strap on the ground. No hooks.
Then, out utility riding, I had a load to tie down and it came in very handy.
I noticed another piece of blue nylon strap along the road a few days ago, and picked it up Tuesday.
Looking at the strap, it had a loop tied in the end exactly like I did when I used it a week ago.

Branches. My lucky find yesterday morning was eucalyptus branches; I only had to stop four (4) times to take them off the road.

A kitten today; about 4 months old, dark grey, fresh, probably a feral from the pasture. Poor thing. And of course the usual broken glass, eucalyptus debris, and trash, as well as some spectacular sunsets.

Yes I did here. His name has officially been changed to Guapo (Spanish for handsome) which seems suitable.

Black cats have been the best for me. I don't know why that is.

I had a jet black cat for 13 years, and she was a great cat. I just lost her partner 2 weeks ago, and it seems so weird to live without one after all these years.
