Sandbagging

... or is it peanutbagging?

They've had trouble with flooding along the beach area in Boundary Bay a couple of times in recent past, and many of the houses are new, and expensive. So they're building a dike along the property line.

At the core of the new dike are these bags. Farther along, they have already been covered with loose sand, up to about 2 metres high.


I checked; they're full of sand. Not peanuts.

More on this outing, later.

  1. Funny! When the dike ruptures a few years down the road, someone will have to explain why the bags were improperly filled.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
