Saturday of 2026, but in COVID time, it's September 10th, 2020. And this is our episode called Wetlands, Wetlands, Wetlands. With exclamation points at the end of each of those words. It had to be Josh that came up with that title because it's as Josh Clark a title as you can ever get. So this is about wetlands, wetlands, wetlands. And I think I picked this one because I just recently took a hike through Doll's Head. trail here in Atlanta.
It is an urban trail that is decorated with the trash that was formerly in that part. It's sort of an industrial, like the forest next to an industrial part of Atlanta still is. And it was kind of a dumping ground. So artists cleaned it up, forged a trail and took that trash, a lot of doll's heads and dolls and kids toys, and they made it into art in a public statement against littering. And it's pretty great. And not only is doll's head trail great, And I highly recommend if you live in Atlanta and haven't heard of it, it's just down Moreland Avenue past the Starlight Drive-In. Just there off the road, like I said, in a weird industrial part of town. But it's got wetlands, wetlands, wetlands. It's got some swamps and some bogs and some small ponds and boardwalks that go through it all.
And it's really great. You can always see some, you know, egrets and herons and turtles and all sorts of animals. Just the other day, I saw a deer kind of peeking through a Right there off of a main busy kind of gross road. So check out this episode from September 10th, all about wetlands.

In these wetlands. What? I knew that you would not get that.
Is that a Seeger reference?
Oh, gosh. Why do you have to say Seeger when you always mean Springsteen? Was that
Springsteen? Yeah,
it's Badlands.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Maybe these wetlands were born to run? Sure. Run water. I don't like myself anymore. Run water. That was a great save, Chuck. Thanks. So, we're talking wetlands. I have to say, we have to give a shout-out to Tom Peterman, the foul-mouthed wetland biologist who keeps asking us to do this episode. Oh, is that where this came from? Mm-hmm. It was a Tom Peterman suggestion, although I had already wanted to do it anyway, so...
