The lake unexpectedly came up almost a tenth of a foot sometime Friday. I thought it to be strange so gave it a little off and on thought since then. It wasn't until driving back from the visitation in Saint Charles last evening that a good solid thought came to mind. After the God awful amount of boats being pulled away from the lake was brought to my attention, I checked the lake level when we got home and discovered it was back to it's normal level. I came to the conclusion that those thousands of boats that were put on the lake had displaced enough water to raise the lake level. Then of course, after they were all taken out.....it was back to normal.
You can't imagine how nice the lake looks now that it isn't necessary to view it through the misty watery veil caused by all the many, many boats. Their constantly produced huge waves crash against the seawall, splashing water higher than the wall is what creates the near day long veil. Every so often a small rainbow is evident in a part of the view but the terrible negative thoughts of the boat operators pretty well negates any beauty there in.
Anyway most of the worst is over now until the next big splash out of the Labor Day weekend. I think by then our minds will be cleaned enough that we can start with a new attitude at that time but you know an attitude can be bent faster and with more ease than a rubber band.
A little cranky might have helped start a Model A Ford but can be a huge detriment in today's world.~Unknown
