Seriously! Mussels?

If you read this rant, then you know all about the drought we have been having here at Lake Lanier. I took these pictures a little over a month ago

This one is just for Nikki - these were the cables that were cutting up your legs the day that you saved Nero (the little shit!). Remeber you were at least knee to hip deep in water at the time. This will give you a pretty good idea of how far the lake was down a month ago.

This one shows one of the permanent makers that is WAY out of the water. That pole to the right should have water close to where the white portion starts at the top.

Apparently, the Corp of Engineers, in all their great wisdom have decided that the mussels (ya know the little clam like things) down river are more important than having water for us measley humans to drink. We have like 4 months left of water if we don’t get some good damn rain, which doesn’t look likely to come anytime soon. Screw the recreation on the lake and screw those damn mussels…people need drinking water. We are already under tight water restrictions (except me ’cause I have a well, so don’t be mad and calling the cops when you see me washing my car!…just kidding, I only did it once, it was more of a quick rinse and I did it very quickly to do my part).

The Gov. has now sued the Corp with an injunction…story developing.
