      That!

      It was just a matter of crowdsourcing it a bit, until somebody came out with a more practical solution than aluminum sulfate.

          Do these kinds of signs usually get put up all at once by a person/a small team or do they have to do that over multiple nights since it’s technically not allowed?

            What I’ve seen: when it’s cups in chain link it seems to be a team, when it’s a sign like this it might be a team or it might be just one or two people. But like, it’s really not hard or time consuming to zip tie some tarps onto a chain link fence. And if you get them in order beforehand, it should go damn smooth. Have someone down the road parked who can call you if you put up a letter out of order and you really should only need two people

            It was like, 5pm or something idk I was tired from the beach when I drove by though. They were actively putting it up

            Now that you’ve made me think through the logistics though, and I know where all the flucks are in town…

    Honestly, throwing money in the pond would probably work. Specifically pennies. Dissolve enough copper and you’ll have a vivid blue reflecting pool that also happens to be toxic to algae (and most other life forms).

        What you do in your own houseboat with your own algae, i don’t care. Just don’t wave it around in public and don’t expect me to solemnize any kind of marriage to it.

                  Do it! Stand Up was, IMO, their best album. Here’s another version for motivation: https://youtube.com/watch?v=e6Kyap5BTfo

                  I’d heard the random JT song on the radio, but after going through their albums those ended up not even being my favorites. Lots of good stuff on “Too Old to Rock and Roll”!

                  Oh, and I’ll add ELO, because there’s a space station on the cover of Out of the Blue.
