plume

you can learn alot in this world by simply listening. You can probally learn even more by opening your mouth and asking questions. To make a difference, or to sway the oponions of others you may have to apply some pressure. Just like you tell/will tell your kids "you can do anything if you set your mind to it. Now, im nobody to talk about motivational this or that mumbo jumbo...i myself do live a simple and undisturbed life.

Years ago I experienced something while fishing that had recently come back into my life. Now, ive been through some surreal and trippy things while adventuring the outdoors and some are unexplainable and others are mysteries which require the pathways of a long road ahead to even begin to solve.
Putting aside my jar of honey (same pond as the following experience)
also putting aside the naked woman in the woods by penny's pond
and also putting aside my bobcat encounter in hampton bays

i now bring into play my 4th oddest experience in nature which at the time being i could only explain as "mercury rising"

Standing in beaver lake (whb) in my waders fishing. Now what else would i be doing right? I started to notice something very strange happening in the waters. Excuse me Under the waters. All around me these newfangles bubbles started making their way up from the ground. They were very bright and high in collor and obviously uncomparable to anything ive ever seen before...ever! They were tiny and had the pinkish/purple glaze as do the bubbles that kids blow. When they were about 1 foot from the surface of the water they popped and a magiacal firework-like explosion would take place just beside me. All over my surrounding areas i had thought i was hallucinating. I called my cuzin on the phone. "dude you gotta come down here and check this out" when he finally came, he had forgotten his waders or hadnet expected my encounter to be hard to reach. now, my conclusion was that i had been wading through some mercury rising. (it's a fact that there are high traces of mercury in fish and you shouldnt eat over a certain number of fish every month) my cousin told me i was full of shit and his only guess was that i had steped in turtle eggs. He had a strange smile as if it were a joke. Turtle eggs? dude you have to be kidding me.

about a month ago on the short bus, directly after picking up my aide (brandy) and my speonk guys and girls I would turn onto speonk-riverhead road. At that particullar corner for about a week was a large truck with a hugh vertical drill. they had been drilling for who knows what. This took place for a few days and there were about 8 or 9 yellow barrels filled with mystery that had either been put into the ground or taken from underneath a small layer of our earth.

I looked up into the mirror "hey brandy what do you think theyre drilling for there?"
"I have no idea, but it is really weird cuz theyve been there for a few days now right?"
"oh yea, it truely is a mystery. theres no oil or any natural good things that would be going on?

the men surrounding the big drill had those bright collored coats as if they were hadardous material workers.
mine and brandys converstaion was inturrupted by willie how was dancing and singing. I looked back in the mirror "go willy go willy"
"he has am amazing sense of rythim, like he could be some weird b-boy rapper hype man guy or something" and we both laughed as willy proceeded to dance.
the drilling truck dissapeared and the mystery was left in my head until yesterday.
Yesterday on the way to mary's (family friend) birthday diner at jr's steakhouse we took speonk-riverhead road. Along the way we talked of gabreski airport and how 70 years ago they used to do airplane bomb drops for testing in that area. In the car was three teachers two of which were in the biology and science departments now all are retired. Mary explained that her friend who lived on peters lane whb had a big issue with the government because of some underground contamanitation that had been making her kids sick fro years. This issue was resolved out of court which means that anything resolution out of court is a private aggrement usually money induced. The amount of money givena and received in out of court aggrements is forever not to be talked and the situation is over forever. Theres no returning to court due to the ongoing problem. The government has things to hide and most likeley paid her a very high amount of money to keep whatever it was that she knew to herself.

now let me take a quick walk into the living room and grab the southampton press off of the table- because when i sat down to eat my egg sandwich the cover article made my hair stand on its end.
Richard was on the computer
"hey rich what does plume mean"
"its like an underground spreading contamination"
"well did you read this article in the southampton press about speonk-riverhead road. Does this have something to do with the bombs thaty we were talking about yesterday on the dinner"
"yeash it does but they dont say that. Those toxic chemicals that old army used is liek de-greaser. strong and horrible stuff"

Now i cannot guarantee that my experience with the bubbling firework chemicals whilst in my waders is directle related to the old bomb testing. Just maybe , if this shit stays in the ground long enough maybe it did make its way into the ponds, pools, underwater tap water and springs.

"a colloe code map supplied by the d.e.c. vis freedom of information law request shows the concentration levels of three contaminates- tetracholroethylene (pce), trichloroetthylene (tce) and chlorororm found in the speonk plumes.

maybe my experience with the firecrackerbubbles could have been any of the three toxic chemicals seeping its way under waders and into our drinking glasses.

im not shure how me sitting here addressing mystery issues may benefit others. Maybe just to inform. personally id rather be stepping on turtle eggs than drinking the local tap water. But i like turtles and wouldnt dare want to harm their existance. Who knows ....maybe they have a hard enough time as it is living in an underwater habitat filled with chemicals and toxins.
