Lake Water Temp Info - Government as Usual

According to the Corps of Engineers website, the lake water went from 52 to 57.5 degrees in one day last week, yet the air never topped 48 and it was overcast the entire day. Yesterday the water was supposedly 61.2 and the air hit 70, but the water dropped to 51.7.

I phoned the Corps and asked that they add the day and time of last update to their web page and they called back and left a message saying that there is no place to do that! (Ever hear of the spacebar or enter key?)

The Bush method of government is alive and well in all branches of government. In case you aren’t clear on how that works, it goes like this:

1) Ask the gvnmt any question.

2) They supply any answer, which is not required to be the least bit believable.

3) They are through discussing it.
