Sitting by the (Oil Smeared) Dock of the Bay
- "I'm sitting by the dock of the bay -- That's what Otis Redding called the Berkeley Municipal Pier in his famous song. Only now it smells like a gas station. On the rock pile below me a Surf Scoter -- a diving duck -- is using the bottom of its red bill to preen its oil blackend feathers that are sticking out from its chest in thick dollops." - quote from David Helvarg from the Blue Notes #40 email newsletter.
