Unique! TRUMP ICE Bottled Water. Sealed 16.9oz. Great Trump Collectible!


During my near-daily stroll/jog in the Northwest section of the Imperial Capital (where the wondrous Rock Creek Park is partially located), I regularly pick up trash/waste (for details, see reference at the bottom of this entry ). Hence this blog's furren title, Objets trouvés, which translated into contemporary American is: The S--t Found Where We Live.

Today, found four plastic water bottles (pwbs) -- the found objects upon which I focus much, but not exclusive,  attention/collection. One mutilated pwb was lacking a label; the remaining three were without an interesting provenance (indeed, two were "Deer Park" products, familiar to Washingtonians who drink bottled water).

[Late 20th century Americana:] The Girl in the Kent State Photo

Image
In 1970, an image of a dead protester immediately became iconic. But what happened to the 14-year-old kneeling next to him?  (John Filo/Getty Images from )  By Patricia McCormick , The Washington Post ,  April 19, 2021 Excerpt: [jb: from a well-researched (but perhaps a bit too long) article] :  Last May, when Mary Ann Vecchio watched the video of George Floyd’s dying moments, she felt herself plummet through time and space — to a day almost exactly 50 years earlier. On that afternoon in 1970, the world was just as riveted by an image that showed the life draining out of a young man on the ground, this one a black-and-white still photo. Mary Ann was at the center of that photo, her arms raised in anguish, begging for help. That photo, of her kneeling over the body of Kent State University student Jeffrey Miller, is one of the most important images of the 20th century. Taken by student photographer John Filo, it captures Mary Ann’s raw grief and disbelief at the rea...

[Excerpt:] Measure of Justice in the Chauvin Trial

Our police come from modern America, that jittery, jacked-up, broken place. They don’t really come from health and stability but from families that are fractured and a culture that is crude and violent, from hypermedia and videogames, from a society that doesn’t cohere. They don’t come from something boring and solid like the cop on the beat 50 and 100 years ago did; they don’t come from a world that went out of its way to teach them manners, morals, faith. How to act.  All the cops, and the perps, they came from us. image (not from article) from
