Not so funny. I've seen the rules ignored by powerful monied interests to build right in front (and block the view) of
other waterfront condos. They begin by "building on the bottom". Coming soon: "
The Witches Condo Association"? "
Middle Ground Shoals Resort and Spa?"
"The Graveyard Buena Vista Estates?" (OK, maybe not that last one).
Meanwhile, at home [residential] base, three barges nursed the recovered barge to shore yesterday, where it is still leaking, and sporting a big dent in the port gunwale. ("Left-Cockpit-Rim" to offshores). And yup, it's my buddy's barge all right.
While lifting with a huge front-end loader, they managed to drop still another Bobcat into the lake at the shoreline (a chain broke, maybe?) . I
heard there's a minor oil/fuel release -- and no boom -- although there's a white boom-looking device on board the damaged barge. Do oil-spill-control booms start out orange and turn white?
There's some action starting -- right now -- this morning. Stay tuned.
