Well that was a yucky wet ol long weekend.

Saturday was the best of them with Sundays light drizzle and yesterdays light drizzle to light rain and fog most of the day making it not that pleasant to be doing outdoorsy stuff. We did manage to pick some blue berries Saturday, not much action Sunday but we did a walk and a wet bike ride Monday.

Still the weather did not deter the sickos and the pyromaniacs.

Some time late Saturday evening early Sunday morning several garbage boxes were set afire, the one just down from us was scorched inside but not totaled. A couple of local lads attended to the fire before the fire brigade came up and finished it off with an extinguisher.

Then we discover that a larger and potentiality disastrous fire was lit behind Big Land grocery.

Out the back of the concrete and steel building there is a a large 25 thousand liter above ground enviro oil storage tank.
Stacked up against the tank was a pile of wooden pallets. The pallets have been reduced to just ashes and the rear of the metal tank was scorched.

Good thing a truck load of pallets were removed from the area and returned by boat earlier this week or things may have gotten out of control.
