Halloween Fun with the Buffalo River

Well, I really wanted to be a Star Trek character for Halloween, but then I decided that our local waterways were just begging to be made into a costume. So--I decided to dress up as our beloved but troubled Buffalo River. Note the fish caught in the six-pack plastic ring--the quart of motor oil from stormwater runoff--the tootsie rolls to stand for sewage overflows--a lovely mallard duck on my shoulder--and a fishy shower curtain for a cape. Maybe it could be the start of a cool trend in river wear? I wonder what Niagara Falls would look like as a costume . . .
