Since 12 November 2012, there have been 77 acts of arson committed in Accomack County, Virginia. Just before midnight on 1 April, a fire was started near Melfa - the Volunteer Fire Department had a quick response time, and a woman was noted leaving the scene. She was stopped by police just after midnight and arrested. Forty-year-old Tonya Bundick was arraigned today and charged with arson and conspiracy to commit arson. Her 38-year-old friend, Charles R.Smith III (also known as Charlie Applegate), was also arrested and charged. Bundick has been appointed an attorney by the court. Smith already has an attorney, and, according to his paperwork in applying for bail, he admitted setting multiple fires and has had 31 previous felony convictions. Smith was also, at one time, a fire captain in the Tasley Volunteer Fire Company. Please note that he has not been affiliated with any fire companies since October 2012. Police and investigators believe that these two people are responsible for the majority of the Accomack arson fires.
It's a beautiful, sunny day here in Boulder, after a combination of rain and snow falling for about 12 hours yesterday. It's 55 degrees outside, kids are playing sports over on the fields at Centennial Middle School, and the birds and squirrels are very noticeable. Maggie May is sunning on her patio. This morning, Lovey and Nedi enjoyed the sun on our patio - then curled up and took a nap with me, as I had medicated myself due to a migraine headache. Feeling much better now.

Boulder Weather; Accomack Arson & ES Trail Ride
Rachel Alexandra is still in serious, but stable, condition at Rood and Riddle in Lexington, Kentucky. Her veterinarians are becoming a little more optimistic about her recovery chances with each passing day. ... Gary Stevens rode Great Hot to victory in the Santa Maria Stakes yesterday; that makes three Stakes wins on three consecutive weekend days. Way to go, Gary!
It's a beautiful sunny, but breezy, day here. The western side of the continental divide has gotten a lot of snow recently - and skiing conditions are great. Here, on the eastern side, we are dry and windy, and under a Red Flag warning for High fire danger. The weather folks are saying we might get snow tomorrow night, but will definitely get snow this coming Thursday and Friday. We'll see. It's in the low 40s right now, and we reached 55 degrees yesterday. It was great being able to soak up the heat and sun in a place sheltered from the wind (my patio). The kits really enjoyed it, I know.
Poor Accomack County, Virginia. As far as I know, none of the 50 arson fires have happened on Chincoteague Island, but folks on the mainland are getting burned - quite literally. The Accomack Sheriff's Office is now offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the arsonist/s who is/are responsible for the 50 destructive fires since November 12th. ... And, if you own a horse, and plan to be in the area of the Eastern Shore of Virginia on March 23, please consider a riding/camping trip with the proceeds supporting the Eastern Shore Special Olympics...
