floating cities of stink and idiots

Tweet

cruise ships i mean. some of them really are as big as small towns anymore. call me jaded,but i can't help but think one of these days they're gonna have an incident that'll make titanic look like small potatoes. but to get to today's point.. more and more are coming to my town.blocking up the waterways,and filling the town with wandering idiots.yea,supposedly it's "good for the local economy (says the chamber of commerce)",but they aren't the ones who have to deal with them. they litter,they block roadways walking in the middle of the street like so many cows.. ..and.. they don't seem to check the water levels before they come in! the QE 2 years ago ripped open a huge hole in their side running across a reef that somehow they didn't notice.some rocks around here aren't a problem unless the water level drops.most boats can accomidate easily,but not a several ton behemoth. i tried sleeping the other night but the bay was fogged..so all i heard was the "hoot hoot hoot" of the ship's horns coming up the bay. now i know how venice feels.
