Here comes the garbage barge!
In the spring of 1987, the town of Islip, New York, with no place for its 3,168 tons of garbage, loads it on a barge that sets out on a 162-day journey along the east coast, around the Gulf of Mexico, down to Belize, and back again, in search of a place willing to accept and dispose of its very smelly cargo.

Real Estate Round Up: The deflation of the real estate bubble presents investors with tough choices-and intriguing opportunities
Risks abound, virtually all observers agree, and clients likely will turn to financial planners for comfort and counsel. To provide informed answers, planners need to see what the weather really is like and decide if clients are better off gearing up to explore opportunities or staying inside and waiting out the storm. Bloomberg has reported that as many as 225,000 subprime borrowers could lose their homes as a result of increases in adjustable mortgage rates by year-end. Falling home prices are both cause and effect. Homeowners no longer can count on appreciation to bail them out of loans they can't afford, so defaults are increasing. We're advising clients to sit with their ARMs rather than incur the expense of refinancing,\" says Curt Weil of Lasecke Weil Wealth Advisory Group, in Palo Alto, Calif. \"There are caps on adjustable-rate loans so the increases generally are not really painful.\" At the same time, Weil is suggesting a strategy revision in another mortgage-related area. \"We had been recommending that clients use home equity credit lines as an emergency source of funds,\" he says. New lines might be hard to come by or might not be renewed, so Weil is urging his clients to be more liquid now and keep 3% to 5% of their investable net worth in cash.
