I always thought a high speed
bullet was a train that ran across
the European landscape at 200
miles per hour. Now I come to
discover there are many things
called a bullet. Although I have
never seen one I have come to
learn it is also some sort of highspeed
personal blender and over
the past holiday weekend I come
to find out they also operate
unmanned.
Apparently Olive over in the campground was
attempting to make a smoothie and was unable to
get the bullet to do its thing. She gave up and walks
over to our place and while she was away the bullet
started on its own, redecorating the fifth wheel trailer.
Robert retuned to find the new colours on the ceiling
and walls. Knowing Olive had left he too was trying to
figure out what had happened. I suppose one can just
chalk it up to the start of a new season at the lake.
For the most part the May long weekend around
Ministikwan Lake was uneventful as campers got
settled in for the year. Young people may have finally
figured out that they should keep to themselves and
keep their activities contained and isolated in the
bush around Bronson Lake. A provincial fire ban was
instituted just before the long weekend due to the dry
weather and lack of rain around the province. Having
said that, there are always those folks who believe they
are above the law and blatantly had fires blazing away
and we did see this over the weekend in a number of
locations.
Most people when requested to extinguish their fires
did so, but as usual there were some slow learners. So
far our area has escaped the devastation of a forest fire,
but we must all continue to be vigilant and insure our
fires are out and never leave the campsite with a smoldering
fire. Fishing has also changed a little on Ministikwan
Lake - there are new quotas on the number of
fish one can harvest and some areas that are restricted
during the early part of the season. One should consult
the provincial fish guide for clarifi cation of the details.
With a fairly smooth start to the summer season I trust
everyone will have a fun filled summer at the lake.
