Legally!

   With the hurricane cleanup in full swing, my day begins before dawn and ends well into the night.  It is exhausting, to say the least.  Our cleanup is mostly salvaging the pier planks and posts and then figuring how to get rid of the four feet deep debris line.   This line is mostly matted marsh that hides a myriad of trash items.  It has to be sorted then removed.  Marsh burns so one would think it would be easy.  Well, wet matted marsh is heavy.  Removing it is a onerous chore.  Then, on top of other problems, the city has decided to implement a burn ban.  Well, now!  How do they think we are to clear the mess?  It is foolish to dump it back into the Bayou and I am sure not going to clear and haul an 1000ft debris line down to the road.  It would take months!  Burn it is!  But legally!

  After pondering the situation, Mark and I decided that he should make a run to the home supply place and buy up every firepit they had!  Now, I have a line of firepits on the bare side of the debris line and they are chugging out like smoke stacks on a locomotive!  The debris line is disappearing and it is being done legally!  Burn on!  Disappear marsh mats!  You've got to go!  

  This is all good but to hear that there is yet another storm building in the Caribbean is troubling.  Hopefully, it will not take a turn to the north as the entire Gulf Coast is storm weary.   We need a break from being battered.
