Things are opening for the season on Block Island, and Everybody was at the Oar last night. And what a show we got. An epic sunset, good food and a chance to table hop with Islanders who are just crawling out of their shells and cottagers just opening theirs.
  Sadly, somebody's beautiful 1780s house just exploded. Nobody was there. Gas leak. The house was down the road from Katie and Mike's (left). The house was not burned, just shattered into smithereens. Katie tried to rescue a painting from the shards of someone's summer dream.
