A Canuck in Cancun —
Authority: 110
After many set backs and problems and a pile of political back and forth, the beach recovery project has started in Cancun. I took a little trip out to the hotel zone today (Sunday) to see what I could see and to try to get some pictures. What luck, I could see, I took photos and I chatted with one of the guys ...1 week ago -

I realize that I have not written anything about the landfill for a while, but its not because Im no longer interested - in fact, I have something in todays Current. I guess Im burned out (sort of like the landfill, maybe). Between ...2 weeks ago -

I have been sick all week, so when I turned over this morning and looked at the clock, saw it was 10:01 - I turned back over and went back to sleep. The phone ringing woke me up at noon.

I received an email from DN reporter Victor Tine explaining to me why certain information about the dredging/beach nourishment that I have cited as being important is not included in his reporting.

So I was talking last week to someone who is in the news business. I was expressing my hardline position that the "fourth estate" should report the news in an unbiased manner, damn the consequences. The discussion was about (Newburys) state Sen. Bruce Tarr , in the last 2 meetings of the MR Beach Alliance, kind of ...5 weeks ago -

This is all in my story in the Current, but Ill repeat it here anyway. The sand for the beach nourishment project is coming from the dredging project.
