Jake: who just might need that daily walk more than some.
Jack: Who I’m sure would rather I just leave him alone!

Looks like Bulb will be a busy spot this Saturday.
Here is some information on the planned Albany Shoreline Clean Up.
Celebrate this Earth Day by helping to clean-up the Albany shoreline!
Want to give back to the Earth this Earth Day? Come out and learn about the natural and social history of the Albany Bulb, while helping to clean the shoreline. Learn about the amazing plants and animals who call this shoreline home and how urban trash such as Styrofoam and plastics, and other pollutants threaten this delicate bay ecosystem. Give just a couple of hours of your time to learn a little about our part of the Earth and lend a hand so that together we can make a difference in the health of our environment.
Wear sturdy shoes, a hat and sunscreen, and bring your own water bottle and gloves if you have them. Snacks provided. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
This event is sponsored by the City of Albany and coordinated by the Watershed Project.
When: Saturday April 19th, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

Well I’ve been waiting and waiting for the “official” beach opening but I think this is as official as it is going to get… The Albany city website is still showing “Albany Beach remains CLOSED to the public at this time” – which seems a bit odd considering the Albany Shoreline Clean Up is scheduled for this weekend) however, the website also states “when the beach is ultimately opened, signage will be installed that cautions users to avoid contact with the tarballs and what to do should you come in contact with it”
These signs have been up for WEEKS! Is it therefore safe to assume since signage is installed it is open?
Okay I’m going out on a limb and saying it “The Beach is open!!” The signs are up and Albany wants us to come celebrate Earth Day by helping clean-up the Albany shoreline.
