New Pictures

Well, we're less than 15 days from having 2 more people in the house - not just in the womb. We don't have any updated pictures of the boys as Jen doesn't visit the specialist until Wednesday.

As TS Fay has floated around the state of Florida for the past week, we got some wind and clouds. Sometimes a couple drops of rain. If you've watched The Weather Channel, you've heard about the "extreme drought" in the Carolinas and North Georgia. We need rain and a lot of it.

I was near Lake Lanier for a little bit yesterday. I took these photos along one of the channels (or fingers) that flow into the main body of the lake. As the lake level has dropped, hidden treasures and trash have appeared after being submerged for years.

A Mello Yello can circa 1990. Probably hasn't seen the light of day since Bush 41 was in office. This is how low the lake level has dropped.

This dock would be floating during a normal year.

No wake? How about no boats?

A rusted axel mostly underwater for the last few decades.

A Mountain Dew can in the old packaging design and a car battery.

Stumps. When the lake was created, some entire towns were relocated.

The water is so low the dock won't even float.
