Mired In Mud

wMired_in_mud_1

Our lake does not exist for our boating pleasure.  It is a reservoir.  A preserver of water.  When times are wet it holds back.  When times are dry it gives of itself to those in need down stream.  This summer times are dry.  We are told water is released from our earthen dam on a regular basis.  It's purpose to insure the Ohio River, many miles downstream, remains navigable for barge traffic.

I get it.

But I don't have to like it.

I'm selfish like that.
