  Think back ten years and talk was totally about low water levels. Some folks were astounded that "they" would send "our" water downstream. Others were upset that they couldn't use their Piers on the Fourth. Still others declaring the lake may never fill again. Even a few worried about the increased shoreline Erosion. APCO  bashing was all the rage.

  Now fast forward 10 years. I et my pump up as usual in early spring and have not used it once. Rainfall records being broken, but not a major flood up or down the system. Yet my yard is soggy to the point of needing rubber boots to be in it with dry feet. Gardens all over the region are ruined from to much rain. The lake is full and I was told by a neighbor the water temp was only 75 degrees.
