My heart lept for a second when I read Mrs V joined No Doubt. I'm sure the music Mrs plays is a bit different than Gwen Stefani's.

Stunning Hamptons beach ranked as one of the worst for fecal matter in nation
https://nypost.com/2024/06/12/us-news/s ... ad-to-see/
A dazzling Hamptons beach surrounded by multi-million dollar mansions has logged some of the worst fecal matter levels in the country – a perennial problem locals have had a hard time flushing away.
Mecox Bay in Southampton last year landed in the top 10 of US beaches that tested positive for dangerous levels of enterococcus — an intestinal pathogen commonly used as an indicator of how much fecal matter is in water.
Enterococcus levels at Mecox Bay exceeded the amount considered safe by New York State standards in 46% of the tests undertaken in 2023 by the Surfrider Foundation, a water quality non-profit which samples beaches across the country.
“It’s one of the beaches where we have some of the most concerns because consistently we are seeing high bacteria levels that exceed the safe health standards for recreational water,” Surfrider Senior Water Quality Manager Mara Dias told The Post Wednesday.

Lots of big mansions. Inadequate septic and sewer systems.

Big noisy insulation truck in front of the cottage across the Circle this morning. 
It must have a diesel engine.
I can't hear the lawnmowers.

On this Flag Day just noting that now that RWNJs are flying their US flags upside-down the rest of us can fly our US flags properly without fearing being mistaken for RWNJs.

After last night's heavy rain county authorities have closed north shore beaches to swimming until tomorrow morning.
This seems to be rule now. After a heavy rain two complete tide cycles are needed to wash away the runoff pollutants before it is safe to swim.

Sewage spilling directly into the ocean is/was a poli thing in BC for years to the point citizen activists fielded their own candidate Mr. Floatie.

After 9 hours of insulation truck noise on Friday yesterday was mostly quiet. Therefore I fear that the lawnmowers will be out in force today. 
Right now it is early and quiet.

The lawnmowers appeared yesterday afternoon as expected.
Yesterday evening I had gone upstairs to my computer room. After about an hour Mrs. V called up that there were blinking lights outside. I called down for clarification. Fireflies? Decorations? Police? Fire?
Not getting an answer I pulled myself up and went thru our bedroom to the upstairs front porch. Police.
Mrs. V was heading up across the Circle where some neighbors were gathered. She reported back. An AirBnB visitor in her cousin's cottage was creating a disturbance. Drugs? Alcohol? We don't know.
The annual meeting will be contentious this year. There was already a boundary dispute. Now some neighbors are mad at other neighbors who rent out their cottages when they are not using them.

Today we are the noise polluters.
Dirt running down our driveway has been flowing onto our patio for some time. Today we are having it dug up a bit and lined with bricks and filled stones with a French drain at the bottom end.

When it comes to drains the French know what they are doing.
Also using 100% Guatemalan labor on the job.

Our younger daughter and our now toddler grandson will be coming for a visit the first week of July.
We are busy child proofing the cottage. It has been decades since a young child stayed here so there is a lot to do.

Driveway workers are back now. No heavy equipment today. Shoveling and hand work. They should finish today.
However just south of the Circle something very noisy is going on. I can barely hear the Guatemalans chatting.

Do you follow the Texas (or is it Florida?) model of not allowing water breaks in the heat?

I just hire the company to put in the driveway. They manage themselves.
Yesterday after lunch they they found a shady tree and took a nap under it. It is a small company. The owner works with the crew.

Guatemalan reinforcements have arrived. Fitting the stones lining the driveway takes a lot of hand work. Big boss is mixing the concrete by hand.
The chatter never stops. Mixture of Spanish, their mesoamerican language and English.
