Description
On the outskirts of the city of savannah, when one crosses the Wilmington River on the way to Tybee Island, there is a small island called Oatland Island.
There is an interesting and supposedly true segment about a man who worked an lived on Oatland Island, in the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." In the book, Berendt describes him as a man who routinely wore house flies tethered to his suit lapels.The author describes him like this: "... I learned the man's name was Luther Driggers and that some years back he had achieved a certain prominence in Savannah. He had made a discovery -- involving a certain pesticide and its ability to pass through plastic -- that had led to the invention of the flea-collar and the no-pest strip. It was rumored that Luther had in his possession a bottle of poison five hundred times more deadly than arsenic, a poison so lethal that if he ever dumped it into the city's water supply it would kill every man, woman and child in Savannah."
I couldn't help but think about that crazy story as I sat gazing at this beautiful reflection on Savannah's water supply, from Oatland Island. Such a contrast. :)
