I like Mark Twain's quote about the weather: "Everybody complains about the weather but nobody does a damn thing about it!"

Cecil, I knew Mark Twain, Mark Twain was a friend of mine. Frankly, Cecil, you are no Mark Twain.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

We are a foot short on rain in Atlanta.
It's not the global warming that's the problem. It's the humidity!
Hey Moe, I'm trying to think but nuthin's happening!

It was meant to be a joke but apparently missed the mark entirely. No, Cecil I respect your input immensely and meant no insult. I apologize and am very sorry.
Someone once said comedy is serious business and not to be attempted by the amateur. I think I understand what they meant.

Bing that is ok my attempts at humor are widely interpreted as , that guy is crazy - what is he talking about or is he trying to be funny. That does not stop me from trying though.

That does not stop me from trying though. I resemble that remark! Dry, dry, dry in California this year also. Two years ago we had surplus rain. Yosemite waterfalls were flowing at an all time high, snow pack was good. Now we're way below normal. Fire season has already been horrible ~ as I write this over 3,000 acres near Lake Tahoe is on fire, thousands evacuated, hundreds of structures destroyed. It's gonna be a long summer....

Bing Sorry I need to chill out I guess. But I have been sniped at on here before for no reason. Fortuantely it's been rare and that person no longer posts here apparently. Theo we all spell potatoe with an e here.

Here are some pictures of Lake Texoma. It is on the red river. The lake crested 21.7 feet above normal and has every ramp shutdown. The spillway  This is what 28,000 cfs looks like.   This is Lake Lavon. It is only a few miles from my house. When this picture was taken it was still 9 ft. high.  Lastly, the big fish of the day.

It's been a long time since anyone has seen those levels. Lake Livingston is discharging 53,000 cfs, enough to fill my pond in 1.5 seconds. It's just a choice of who get flooded. Folks below the dam are getting flooded now.

I've had enough rain for everyone!!!!We got so much rain on the 4th of July I watched a 6 ft. section of my limestone border (rip-rap size)collapse into my pond from the force of the water hitting it. I have 12" high screens on my spillway and I couldn't see them they were completely under water. I though the water was going to top my levee. I'm real concerned over how many fish I may be losing, This has been happening about once a week. We have not had a normal rain since spring.
