I was looking at the URL several post below. Those kids playing on the floating dock. Yea, the one with the 55 gallon drums. There ain't a fat kid in the picture. Things that make you go hhhmmmmm. No video games. No ipods. No cell phones, gameboys. Go figure! Kids just burning energy and growing up. I'll bet they were hungry at the end of the day and ate everything in sight, and did'nt gain an ounce. Just an observation. Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees.

Bringing together two separate posts--I would say the worst invention is the jet ski, but the problem isn't so much the craft itself as parents who buy their kids a $20,000 toy, teach them nothing about boater's ettiquette, and send them out to do loopy-de-loos in front of my house all day long. Is anyone else driven mad by the noise on this pond?

The noise is bad enough, but even worse is the loss of about 4' of shorline over the past 10 or 12 years due to erosion from the constant waves. To give the devils their due, however, I must also say there are plenty of ski boats who also come into our slough and make very sharp u-turns, causing equally as much damage to the shoreline. Not so much this year, though!

Exactly, I live on a creek where we have skiers, jet skiers, tubers, screamers, swimmers, and fisherman (sometimes all at once). The damage to the shore is troubling, but this also creates unbelievble gas fumes, trash, and noise pollution. Over the years I have become more and more troubled by the density of the traffic and worry about the lake. Perhaps this drought will slow the problem down (at the same time it levels out the real estate market). But I do wish we Alabamians could be a bit more responsible with our resources. Seems like any fool could see that all this traffic is damaging to the lake.

When the water is gone the problems will drain away with it.

Hey Cat.....yes, we were hungry after a hard day of running, swimming, fishing and skiing, but my grandmother always had a kitchen full of fried chicken, mashed potatos, fresh fried corn, squash, green beans, pound cake with caramel sauce, coconut pie, and homemade ice cream and sweet tea to fill us up. We ate off of those awful, brightly colored Fiesta dishes (the ones that everyone collects now) and drank out of Bama jelly glasses. We had to wait 1 hour before she let us go back in the water.....and when we did, she made us take a bar of Ivory soap to wash up for bedtime. We drew straws to see which lucky ones got to sleep in the hammocks on the screened -in porch, and the rest of the poor souls had to sleep in those tacky, hot (no air-conditioning) bedrooms. I think that must have been the best sleep I've ever had.....crickets, lightning bugs, a cool breeze, full belly, and the sound of the adults (that loved and watched over us) playing cards in the living room. Ah.....

Very, Very Nice. Brings back a lot of memory’s, not only of the lake but of Grandpa's farm.
