I realize people like pictures because it requires less time than actually reading, but if you do enjoy to read, I invite you to click the link below and check out this poem, as well as others that I have on my website blog.
I wrote this poem during a short spell where I was focusing on a "word of the day" email that I get every day in an attempt to put it to poetry. While the concept was fun, it got lost in the day to day, like everything else lol.

Yesterday I went out to Old Whitney because of how low the water is on Badin Lake. I couldn't remember when it was, but found some photos my Uncle Larry gave me from 2003 when Badin was much much lower. At that time you could see the abandoned Old Whitney Dam, to the extent people were walking across it in many places.
As of this morning, Badin Lake is down 3.79 feet compared to Lake Tillery at 1.3

We have a WINNER! Yesterday's ticket ( #50880-044) went to Connie's Coffee & Cafe and claimed their prize. However, the person at Connie's who was responsible for helping me was off so . . . the winner went in, showed their ticket, got their canvas and left.
