The monthly caravan arrived from Sherwood Forest this weekend with a flatbed full of lumber, several hundred pounds of venison, and a ton of blueberries. Going the other way: salt, gasoline, glass panels, a refrigeration unit, and a big turbine for Niagara Station. It was hotter than hell this weekend but at least we had a breeze coming off the ocean. Up in Sherwood it was close to 100 degrees. Most of the folks kept in the shade or jumped in the lake. The Sherwood guys monopolized the golf course on Sunday. I didn’t have a tee time – I never seem to have one when they’re in town – but I did have a drink with Tim Keating. He said that the deer population has risen notably, but dog packs are still a problem, so they have to be very careful when they hunt. They also had an incident with a bear. It ended poorly for the bear and no one else, but they had to reinforce the fencing. Not sure why a bear would bother wandering into a populated area when there should be plenty of food in the wilderness.
