Thanks. Interesting that Reggie Returdo, our "experienced" alleged
boater who allegedly boats on Lake Lanier, hasn't been discussing this
drought the last couple of months in rec.boats.

Damn, I never thought of that, but I don't have to worry. I wash my car once every couple of
years, whether it needs it or not. Hey, that's what the rain if for. ;-)

Ok, I have only been watching what I see on the news but is the corps
still blowing water out the dams for no apparant reason (as they have
suggested in some reports)?


Yes, they are.


And as this lake gets smaller, and the
story and visuals get bigger, does it serve to help the Global taxing
crowd prove their points?


Jeez, talking about black helicopters! Do you think that liberals
somehow conjured up the drought to be able to prove that global
warming exists?
Who exactly is this "Global taxing crowd" you speak of?

No, and I probably said this wrong. What I really meant is from what I
know and have seen, (I have lived down there too) the corps never seem
to have any accountability, just do what they see fit, kinda' like the
FED. And I did not mean the corps had golbal taxing in mind but I am
wondering if the corps actions will give the GT crowd more ammo, and
if so if it would be a legit arguement...

The Corp can do nothing except what is in some manual, etc. That is
why they are refusing to use any good sense in this issue. There is a
court ordered amount of water that they must release, and that is just
what they will do, unless we can stop them somehow, until the last
drop flows out. I'm wondering, because they are unable to use ANY
judgement of their own accord, what they'll do to keep water flowing
out of the dam after the lake has dried up!

They're just following the law, dummy.

Ok, the guy (I saw on the news) was probably being somewhat sarcastic
but he said it was about saving some muscles and fish down river.
Sounds like some green group got a law passed at one point that could
really backfire, do I got this right?

Damn, Dan, every time you enter into a conversation, you show your
stupidity. Where did I say they were doing anything *but* "following
the law", dummy? What I DID say was that they aren't allowed to use
any judgement of their own accord. I've dealt with the Corp on several
projects in the past, and never will again, because of that.

There are several reasons for the corp being forced by law to release
a given amount of water. One is some fresh water mussel in FL. And no,
it wasn't some "green group". There are downstream generating plants,
downstream places that use the water for drinking, etc.
