Beaver Pond update

I'd like to think that it was my awesome photos, or perhaps my threat to stop spending eighty bucks a month or so at Compare Foods that did it, but i won't take any more credit than i have to. I heard a rumor that folks were working on the sewer problem behind the Compare Foods that i reported on earlier in the week.

Stopped by today, and sure enough, something has been done.

All three manhole covers are up, there's no apparent outflow, and all three of the holes are "protected" by pallets. As long as nobody decides they need some cheap firewood tonight, that should work. It still smells pretty rancid back there, but i can't say whether or not that's a lingering odor, or indicative of the fact that the problem has not yet been cleared up. At any rate, there's nothing flowing into the beaver pond at the moment.

Which is a good thing, because if there was, i don't think these sandbags are up to the task of keeping anything out.
