   YEp, that's a good thing.  Starting to see a couple boats   
   moving around out there again now, tells me the old salts   
   are ok with it so that says something.

   YEah I don't really care for the snow, but I'd rather we get our moisture   
   quota as that than with some of the storm   
   systems blew across the country last spring into summer.   
      
   Only trouble is, those poor guys in central and west Tx.   
   etc. could sure use a good dowsing.  A friend of mine who's   
   in cattle out there is crying for rain.  He's bought some   
   other property further west in NEw MExico and last I knew   
   was still evaluating  how much stock he could move out there to graze on what   
   water resources are available to him there. A couple of good tropical storms   
   or better pounding either   
   the gulf coast or the Pacific coast of MExico would sure do   
   his heart proud for water within a few days, but what a   
   price for it .
