HAHAHA Well Bruce, Kurt was asking a rhetorical question, but you're absolutely correct in your assessment.

Apparently the $28 million MDC-DU flood prevention project they installed over the last nineteen years at FG worked GREAT this summer, they only got flooded out sixteen times!

This is a fantastic improvement over the Pre- Flood Prevention Project record, when the Grove was flooded an average of twice every three years.

PROGRESS !!!! That's a 2500 percent improvement in flooding! And as you know... more flooding = less work = more time off for the MDC! AND none of that pesky habitat work or dealing with (ugh...) hunters.

Word has it, there's a helluva good cork crop up there this year, so gather up your Wolf Steel 6's and your Mossberg and practice your 40-note hail calls... the Grove is gonna be HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!

Of course, I'm only kidding. There's only a moderate cork crop.
