Low water levels at Lake Belton concerning for wildlife, potential silver lining for community.

Story by Meredith Haas

Rain here and there is not going to cut it for Lake Belton.

The water levels at the lake currently sit around 19 ft. below where they should be at.

The low lake levels have a potentially negative impact on the local wildlife and their habitat.

“The main affect is fewer resources in general,” Inland Fisheries Biologist for Texas Parks and Wildlife Michael Baird said.

Definition Of Our Government Today

Ineptocracy: A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Winter finally Here!

Woke up to 23 degrees this morning. It finally feels like winter here in Texas. Ok we don’t have any snow on the ground but that truly is a rare occasion in Texas. I have a fire in the wood burning stove and no plans for the day. Happy New Years everyone.

Fixing Trucks

Spent a few hours today replacing the front disc brakes and the shocks on the front of the 2005 truck. It was not as bad as I thought it would turn out to be. Nathan did most of the work.

We already did the other side. Next weekend the back brakes and shocks.

80 Years of Remembering Pearl Harbor: Valor, Sacrifice, and Peace

By Paula Ratliff

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii—Thousands of people gathered here on Tuesday to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The surprise assault by the Imperial Japanese Navy on Dec. 7, 1941, carried out prior to a declaration of war, plunged the United States into World War II.

The ceremony honored the fallen, encouraged the survivors, and brought healing and closure to the 396 families who waited for their loved ones to finally be identified. A smaller group of families, 33 in all, re-interred the remains of fallen warriors who have remained unidentified despite years of effort.

Two Years And Still Running.

It’s been right at two years and I still haven’t caught the Chinese Virus. They are still trying to contain it but that’s a lost cause. The Biden government is still trying to implement a covid-19 vaccine mandate. That’s not going so good either. Winter is coming and people are starting to get the flu like they do every year, but now its the CCP virus. With so many supposedly vaccinated and now with booster shots, it seems they are the ones spreading it.

Looks like Thanksgiving will cost more this year as inflation is eating more of my dollars.

But it’s all about spending time with the family anyway. I’m sure everyone will pitch in and help.

Have a good Thanksgiving everyone. Stay safe and let the stress roll off of you.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

Having a great day and to all the other fathers out there hoping you are to.

My son mowed the yard and my wife made me breakfast. Life is good!
