there's a story here, I reckon
From today’s LA Times:
Silver Lake Reservoir — the century-old neighborhood landmark drained earlier this year — started to look like its old self again Wednesday …
The empty reservoir revealed hundreds of golf balls, articles of clothing and even one wedding ring — a simple uninscribed gold band — which is now being worn by one of the biologists who helps maintain the water.
The Silver Lake Reservoir is surrounded by an 8-foot high chain link fence, which keeps people twenty, maybe thirty feet from the water. This means the ring probably didn’t fall into the lake accidentally — in all likelihood, it was chucked.
There’s some sad, bitter juju on that thing, I tell ya. We should be happy it’s no longer infecting our water supply. We should also keep an eye on that biologist, who is now clearly cursed.
