RoboCall Strikes Again

I was at work yesterday when the call came at our  home...and yours (if you live at WL) as well.  C Cove is closed to swimming due to high bacteria count, but the Beach at C Point is open to swimming.  I  guess that is possible but I wouldn't be tempted to take a swim there until the all clear is given.  Question is, what is the source?  It  can happen after a rain event, but that was almost a week ago so that doesn't seem like the reason.  A mystery, but one that probably should be solved.  It does reemphasize what is important.  We can remake the monuments, we can pretty up C Point, but if the water stinks, literally, we have a problem.  Water quality is everything when it comes to quality of life and the value of property.  Darn that E Coli.  In the meantime the WL Chamber of Commerce has a headache to deal with.

On a different note...you may have noticed my comment above about "if you live at WL".  My dashboard for the blog this week shows "hits" from Canada, the Netherlands, a couple in Lativia, Bulgaria and one from Brazil, with the huge majority, of course, in the US.  Doesn't cut the data any finer than that.  So for my Brazilian reader...Bom Dia!
