The Sunkist Float is awesome. Tastes like a sherbet ice cream float, very yummy! Perfect for a hot day like today!
I found them all suddenly available at all the gas stations here. They also have A&W Rootbeer floats too. Check em out:
This was a gift from a fisherman I used to know.
In the days before cork floats, Japanese fishermen along the coast of British Columbia used these little floats to buoy up their nets. Occasionally they would come adrift of the nets and wash up on beaches. When someone finds one, it's a bit of a treasure, because they are quite rare, and haven't been used for about 60 years.

History of the dock complex on the Wirral;
1847
Morpeth & Egerton Docks open after years of planning and political plotting.
1851-60
The Great Float opens. It has been formed by closing Wallasey Pool and using Egerton Dock as an
entrance. It is planned as a link to other docks that will be built off its quays, but instead will become a
dock in its own right. It will have 110 acres of water and more than four miles of quays. It is split into
East (1851) and West (1860) Floats.
1850s
Emigrants are leaving East Float on ships bound for Australia.
1866
Alfred Dock is constructed. With its large river locks it provides good access to the Great Float.
1868
Following the repeal (withdrawal) of the Corn Laws more grain is imported through Birkenhead. There
is a lot of demand for grain from the growing industrial towns of northern England.
1870
Corn warehouses are built on the Great Float. They store imported grain before it is moved on.
1870s
Developing countries like North and South America have large areas of land ideal for rearing sheep and
cattle. They have more animals than they use, and so send huge quantities to the growing industrial
towns of Britain on fast steamships. At Birkenhead they are sold to farmers or slaughterhouses.
1871
A large railway network has developed around the Birkenhead docks. It has stations for goods and rail
connections to all the quays. Coal for steamships is brought by rail from South Wales and loaded onto
ships at the Great Float. Morpeth Dock is the site of the one o'clock gun. It is used by ships to set their
chronometers.
1873
Large concrete casements (containers with thick walls) are built at the far end of the West Float. They
are for storing inflammable oil and petrol.
1877
Wallasey Dock opens. It had been the unsuccessful Great Low Water Basin.
1878
Sickness destroys Britain's sheep and cattle. The disease has been imported with foreign animals. It is
now illegal to import animals unless they are slaughtered or quarantined (isolated) in licensed quays.
These are called Foreign Animal Wharves. Lairages, slaughterhouses, chill rooms and meat-stores are
built at Morpeth and Wallasey Docks.
1880s
Docks and railways are built in South Wales. Birkenhead is not needed to export Welsh coal anymore.
1885
Birkenhead's oil and petrol trade grows. Storage tanks with pipes connecting them directly to berths
on the West Float are built.
1893
Dockside mills are built. Imported grain can now be processed before it is transported inland. This
reduces transport costs.
1894
The Manchester Ship Canal opens. It joins the Mersey at Eastham (up river from Birkenhead) and was
built to avoid Liverpool.
1897
The imported animal trade is booming. 40-50% of Britain's trade in American sheep and cattle passes
through Birkenhead.

During every Teeswater Old Boy and Old Girl Reunion, there is a big parade - as was the case in 1969.
I am creating an art float with friends and neighbors for this year’s Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade.
Our float for this parade features the Bamboodu Theater, a mobile puppet stage I created for civic events and art shows. Our first show stars Lady Liberty and Mr. Trump. As music plays, a Mr. Trump’s recent tweets and alternative facts appear on a news ticker. Each time Trump says something wrong, Liberty hits him on his thick, bobbing head.
As we march, we will invite parade watchers to sing along the inspiring poem by Emma Lazarus about the Statue of Liberty (“Give me your tired, your poor …”). Through this interactive art experience, we hope to engage people of all ages to change the world through civic action.
I am building this float with a wonderful team at the Mill Valley Community Action Network (MVCAN), a local political group which I recently joined to resist the conservative takeover of our country.
I’m very grateful to all our friends and neighbors who are helping bring it to life: Danny Altman, Laura Boles, Jean Bolte, Phyllis Florin, David Glad, Peter Graumann, Edward Janne, Suz Lipman, Jean Marie Murphy and Mark Petrakis, to name but a few.
Our Bamboodu Float is coming along beautifully, and I can’t wait to show it off at the parade on Monday, May 29, 2017.
Join your neighbors to keep democracy alive!

The floats from the previous day's Grand Floral Parade were on display by the riverside. The rules for floats stipulate that floral and plant materials be used for all float decorations. This hippo is covered in purple-dyed seeds.
