Come For The View, Stay For The Unbreathable Air

There's a lovely cove in La Jolla where the natural beauty is tempered by one small byproduct of nature: the acrid stench of bird poop, of which there's a lot. How has this happened? They stopped allowing humans to walk on the bluffs due to safety concerns, which allowed birds to hang out and take dumps. The solution would be the use of nontoxic cleaners that would wash away the poop without any ill effects to the environment. But they can't do that without state permits, and, naturally, it'll take two years for that. So when you're enjoying the spectacular sunset view, hold your breath. (New York Times)
