I'm wondering if the fire was deliberately set. Operating a landfill means that you have to plan to bury garbage, and manage influx. It means buying sand and other materials to cover the garbage. A massive fire, hits the reset button and reduces the garbage to ashes. It is a quick way of getting rid of garbage without any cost.

I feel sorry for the people with asthma, including some relatives and a couple of good friends. For years, they used an over-the-counter asthma relief called Primatene Mist that was sold in Lowes at Harbour Bay. They couldn't afford the more expensive salbutamol. Primatene was banned because the propellant is bad for the ozone layer. There is a pill but it doesn't work as fast and is not as good as the mist.

This is really bad for tourism as well.

I know folks who would like that.

Reminds me of a colleague once from the UK. He went to a posh private school (which they call public schools for some unfathomable reason). The head master used to cane them on the bare buttocks, but prior to or just after the caning, he would sprinkle perfume to make the skin sting even more.

As it turned out, that ruined the chap sexually for the rest of his life. He cannot engage in conjugal relationships without a bottle of perfume and a stick.

It's a great day to be off-island.

The airport branch was not strange. It was for deposits that "flew in" by briefcase and the carriers of such deposits immediately departed.
