    So, I went to see the MS River yesterday and the Bonnet Carre Spillway. Crazy how high the water is. The right side of the gates is usually all "dry" land. Not dry, but not flooded like it is now. Lots of pictures, so enjoy.

    It don't affect me at all, so it doesn't bother me. It was pretty awesome to see though.

    You might be right. That's just talk I heard around the spaces today.
