Christmas has long gone yet the smiling faces of many politicians are still wishing us all Christmas and New Year Greetings from tarps they have failed to remove. Last year I posted an article about the many Christmas tarps Al Espino had posted around town. After the new year his campaign team did a relatively thorough job in exchanging the Christmas tarps for new tarps wishing everyone a Happy Bacolaodiat.
I say relatively thorough because a few of his Christmas tarps managed to escape their notice.
The fate of one tarp in particular caught my attention because it was strung up with five other tarps on a row of poles. For whatever reason his team missed this one and it lingered sadly in the wind hanging about like a weeping willow.
That picture was taken on January 11th. Three weeks later this tarp finally decided it had enough of life and rather than continue attempting to hang onto the pole it dropped to the ground and died.

A rather undignified way to go. This tarp, like many others, will have the unfortunately all too common fate of undergoing a sky burial which means the elements will beat its corpse relentlessly until it dissipates and dissolves and the wind blows its tiny fragments to the four corners of the earth.
Or maybe one of the groundskeepers at the factory where this tarp used to hang will toss it into the garbage.
