I'm into that shoe game
Glass Beach is a unique beach, not because nature made it that way, but because time and the pounding surf have corrected one of man’s mistakes.
Beginning in 1949, the area around Glass Beach became a public dump. It is hard to imagine this happening today, but back then people dumped all kinds of refuse straight into the ocean, including old cars, and their household garbage, which of course included lots of glass.
By the early sixties, some attempts were made to control what was dumped, and dumping of any toxic items was banned. Finally in 1967, the North Coast Water Quality Board realized what a mistake it was and plans were begun for a new dump away from the ocean…
Now, over 30 years later, Mother Nature has reclaimed this beach. Years of pounding wave action have deposited tons of polished glass onto the beach. You’ll still see the occasional reminder of it earlier life, such as a rusted spark plug, but for the most part what you’ll see is millions of pieces of glass sparkling in the sun. (As part of MacKerricher State Park, collecting is no longer allowed).

Adele of course is like..the shit. She’s like, the greatest. I mean everybody loves her man, and, y’know.. I’m not always a fan of loving what everybody else loves but she’s just so good. I just appreciate her like, having such good quality music and it being so soulful and real like, she didn’t have to compromise her sound in anyway like it’s just all the way…it reminds me of motown shit like, the same vibe, the same quality. She’s not sampling, she’s not doing anything man it’s just all her. So, she’s definitely probably the most talented musician out right now.
