  1. The RCR is being filled from the Etowah river, the pumping station is near the Cartersville Airport. 

    Since it's right after the Allatoona Dam, if the lake is OK to swim in, the treated water supply should be ++ good. 

    Heard rumors that due to the delay in the project (it's over a year behind schedule) and cost overruns, the "temporary" rate increase that was supposed to get them over the construction period will end up being left active.   

     

  2. Paulding has 7 cases so far. 

    Bartow has 93, Cobb 119, Dekalb 137 , Dougherty 164 and Fulton 231. 

    Keep your distance people!!

    From the GA Dept of Health:

    The number of Hospital rooms used keeps climbing.   Lots of bad cases.  Still hopeful we can use distancing to keep this under the line.

  3. If I get a winter cold, the cough and post-nasal drip will usually last for 4+ weeks after I finally fight off the cold.  If I get a lung infection, it can be 6-8 weeks before I finally it get all cleared out.  With this wet winter/spring so far, expect allergies to be bad as well.  

    I just stay on the Over the Counter drugs to try to get a good nights sleep as I feel that is critical for healing.

    Also, not sure how old  your son is, but some guys at work got me to take large amounts of Vitamin C when I was getting sick on a trip.  I was skeptical,  but it was the shortest cold I'd ever had and recovery was faster too.  I take the nature made 500 mg chewables.   That might help some if he's older. (I wouldn't try it on anyone less that 18 without discussing with his doctor first.) 

     

  4. Funny you should mention that since the construction news on the RCR website hasn't been updated since 1st Quarter of Last year, the original completion date.  They have a few pictures from Sept, when the dam was supposed to start filling (6 months late, but I will say I expected that with all the rain we've had for the last 2 years)

    However, rumor that I've heard is that it's still empty, as the county screwed up the dam construction and can't get the Corps to approve starting the filling process.  Thus, no news. 

    Since I've seen no logging trucks coming out, I tend to believe the rumor as they are supposed to be logging the area as it fills to keep dirt washout to a minimum. 

     

    So until they can fix it, we get to pay for the dam construction *and* pay Cobb to process our water!!    Lucky us!

     

     

     

     

  5. The Locus swarms in Africa/ middle east and now China are not getting a lot of press here, but there is a possibility of severe famine in those areas as the swarms can eat a field clean of crops in just hours.  Insecticides and direct killing of the beasts are the primary attack mode in most countries.  

    They have moved into extreme western China now, but the Chinese govt is using a green solution to fight back.  

    Ducks.  Lots and lots of Ducks.   

    I hope that this method works for China, but the middle east and Africa could be in for massive starvation if the weather forecast holds and the swarms continue to get bigger.

    The plague of locusts which has wreaked havoc across east Africa has now reached China’s Xinjiang border in the far west of the country, where it meets Pakistan and India.  

    Pakistan declared a national emergency due to potential food shortages, with Prime Minister Imran Khan calling it "the worst locust attack in decades".

    In an impressive video, shared by the state-run Chinese news site CGTN, thousands of ducks are seen marching down a road to face and then eat the enemy.

    These ducks are on a mission to seek, destroy, and eat locusts

    The brown birds, referred to as “duck troops” in Chinese media, have been used to tackle locusts before and some say they are more effective than pesticides.

    Wang, from Xinjiang, previously told Global Times that one juvenile duck can manage 4m² of land by gorging on locusts.

    In this latest outbreak, said to be the worst in 25 years, swarms of locusts have reached a terrifying 60km long in Kenya according to officials.

     

  6. So... if the aid was outside of the campaign and the President himself didn't know about it, how exactly is he supposed to refuse this aid? 

     

    Should #EXPRESIDENToftheUnitedStates have been impeached for providing funds to help oust Netanyahu even if the state department didn't know that was what was happening?

  7. Kombucha (also tea mushroom, tea fungus, or Manchurian mushroom when referring to the culture; botanical name Medusomyces gisevii) is a fermented, slightly alcoholic, lightly effervescent, sweetened black or green tea drink commonly consumed for its supposed health benefits.

  8. Lost a 12" pine in the back.  Had no idea it was half rotten at the base, the bark had covered the damage.  Only damage was it landed on three of my tomato cages.   They will never be the same.  :( 

    Neighbor down the street lost one about the same size, hit the power lines and broke them.   Greystone was able to fix it about 3:00 am. 

    A huge thanks to the crews working all night long.  Most of us are very used to our electrical conveniences!
