3 June 2009 -- South Caicos

Went to town today.  Dumped a bag of trash in the community dumpster by the town dock.  Then trekked out by the Boiling Hole salt pans, now containing a flock of pink flamingoes, to the High School to use the only internet WiFi in town.  The High School still shows the ravages of last year’s devastating Hurricane Ike.  By now the blue disaster tarps are in shreds and the roofs are again open to the weather, with no signs of ongoing repairs.  The most noticeable damage was to the roof of the Industrial Arts classroom.  You would think that the shop class could fix its own roof.  Mark, Rachelle, and I sat outside amongst the ants checking email, until we finally went inside the music classroom and used their chairs.  The first wall outlet I plugged into gave a vicious spark, but the second one was much better behaved.
