After a few slow days in the timber I decided to chase some greenheads last Sunday. My partner and I were going to hit the marsh at 430 to see what we could find. I got a message at 100 that some A-hole had decided it would be fun to watch a duck boat burn.
He woke up to a huge fireball in the street outside his building. The firemen said it was obviously arson. The synthetic grass material was actually very hard to burn, we had tried just to see when we were building the blind. Needless to say it was a total loss. The whole setup was only a year old so the price was rather significant. Not to mention the fact that you can't just go out and buy a replacement. He's got two weeks of vacation to duck hunt coming up and now he's screwed. I'd give anything to have been pulling in when whoever it was was running off. But then I'd probably be in jail right now. What the hell gets into people sometimes? Anyway, just needed to vent to some sympathetic ears.
