A tree grows in Brooklyn



People in this city have a weird relationship with garbage cans. It reminds me of an anti-littering ad aimed at fishermen I used to see on TV when I was a kid:

[Man in dory throws an oil can into the water]

Kid: Where does the garbage go, Dad?

Man: Oh. Away . . .

[Oil can bobs in water]

  2. That kid's name is Anthony Black.....he's from Halifax. He's still around, doing his acting/directing thing with 2b Theatre Company.

    He also enjoys sunsets and long walks on the beach.
