#Reservoir

1 post1 participant0 posts today

The water level in this canal is a bit lower than optimal. It's below the level at which excess water drains away.

In times of drought, Canal & River Trust has reservoirs from which to top up canal water levels. In times of heavy rain, the canals have structures, called weirs, over which excess water flows.

Pictured here is the most common weir design: a straight edge that forms a threshold.

In the blur
of this weary existence
I wander city streets
seeking some sort
of half ass absolution
for the vast #reservoir
of my selfish actions

Always attracting
strange looks
from the judgemental population
as I mutter
half baked poetry to myself
into the indifferent wind

Clumsy stabs
at rhythmic perfection
while spouting
deep reflections
on the meaning
of my ebbing life

All these disjointed
connections
that never seems
to find completed
puzzle resolution

Closure mocks
and eludes me
as horns blare
at the catatonic kook
staring up at the traffic light
in the middle of Strange Street

My padded cell awaits

“Where’s that #reservoir of common sense you’re famous for?” said Ari
Dan put a hand on Mia’s shoulder. “Men like to provide solutions, we don’t actively listen.”
“But I hadn’t said anything,” said Mia.
Dan felt her tremble. “Early finish?”
“No. I’m doing nothing wrong.” #vss365

A photo of the back garden at the family home where I grew up. Started off as a sloping field and it was all built manually (shovel, pick, wheelbarrow, etc) by my Dad.

Sadly the entire garden / house we're demolished and turned into waste land when the local council found out there was a reservoir drain under it which needed moving. The only happy aspect is that my parent has passed on and the house had ben sold to another owner when it was all discovered.

This temporary closure is to prevent any visitors from coming into contact with sick or dead birds.
MCR is coordinating closely with state and federal wildlife agencies, and we will keep you informed about this situation on our website and Facebook page regarding when we will reopen.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this time.
Thank you,

Recently, dead or sick birds have been spotted at MCR, and we have reported these findings to the New Jersey Division of Fish & Wildlife (NJDFW) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) for further evaluation. The NJDFW has confirmed that the virus was detected in the birds found on site.
