What If?

For argument's sake let's pretend health officials determine the corona virus can be transmitted by crow shit.  Would that motivate Plattsburgh City to attack the problem at the source, i.e., driving away the crows?

Sisyphean

PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY -- 3/5/20

Yesterday city workers sprayed and wiped down this Trinity Park bench to remove crow shit. But as usual the crows returned last night and sat in the tree above, crapping all over the clean slate. The other benches were wiped down but they are also accumulating crow shit. Attacking the symptom but not the cause. There are ways to deal with the crows: http://writog.blogspot.com/2020/02/crow-crap_6.html

Scrub Time

PLATTSBURGH CITY, NY -- 3/4/20

I feel sorry for these two men stuck with cleaning off the crow shit splattered all over the benches in Trinity Park. This only attacks the symptom, not the cause. There are measures that can be taken to control the crow problem. Until those measures are taken city employees will be called out again to scrub down the latest carpet-bombings.

Let's Crow About Downtown

Someone told me I should leave "the poor crows alone."  I will if you will sit on this bench for fifteen minutes.
