Another example as to why we need all the semiconductor technology built here in America. After owning a VW diesel and finding out about the computer chip fraud, AT&T getting hacked, VyStar mess up, the pagers that went off alerting Israel’s leadership where opposition was I honestly believe we are all in for more “strange” happenings. We have become open to all and any form of data breaching. Everyone needs to be extra careful when using any form of technology. We have no firewalls for these chip. My ignorant opinion.

Here is potential story for you. In keystone heights the lake levels have been up since the big rains we had in October. The lake covered ‘save our lake’ signs hanging from the dock. This has been going on for months before the blackcreek-alligator creek pipeline was even tested. I suspect the SOLO people are going to take all the credit for their multimillion dollar pipeline raising the water levels! The keystone heights free paper has a couple article on the pipeline with only praise for the pipeline with no mention of the naturally renewed lake level. Thanks for all that you guys do.

Tru, very heavy rainfall raises the water level in the lakes.

Are you saying that the pipeline endeavor will not help improve lake water levels? Has that always been your opinion or has something changed that should be discussed?

I think the pipeline can and probably will raise (now, keep) the water levels high. I actually think its a pretty cool idea but maybe not as cool as good old fashion patience. It was maybe presumptive to assume that we needed to build an enormous pipeline to keep nature where we want it (akin to global warning hysteria). A common explanation for low lake levels has been that overvelopment and over population has drained rhe water table ( as far as i have heard). Could they would have waited for the water levels to rise or the water table to replenish through a normal cycle?

My family had a place on Hall Lake since the early 70’s. Best I remember the dock had been high and dry since mid 80’s. It’s rained hard many times since then….i don’t think it’s a rain thing. I also see no problem with diverting the water as long as there is a reasonable determination that it won’t cause a bigger problem elsewhere.
