I haven't been over there in a long time. Last I heard, it looked about like Hubbard. I don't think the dam could hold it if it ever did fill back up.

Flats did you get any rain at all? I would like one big dump of rain a week then a slow soaking rains the rest of the week. Were on water rationing now. No washing vehicles, driveways, patio's ect. Then we can only water our yards with a water hose two times a week. There's a 2000.00 fine if a neighbor calls on you for breaking the rules.

Bearkat here we go AGAIN... Yes the illegal aliens are dropping their kids off at the border so they can go to school. Are there no schools in Mexico? A woman told a mother to leave her kids at the border and they would pick the kids up and take them across the border to get to go to school. Someone has to take care of the kids. The taxpayers get hit again and the VA sits and waits to see a doctor because there's illegal alien kids to take care of. All wrong just wrong. I see all these Senators trying to impeach the little o but that leaves us with another donkeys butt. Has our Marine gotten to come home yet or they still working on that? Lord Jesus we need you badly.

He's been home and now is back in California with his wife. The other Marine is getting ready to ship out on the same MEU late this month.

Thank you Bearkat. I kept watching for the marine being released on the news and missed it. As for the children I am torn. Being a mother myself the thought of ever just dropping my children off to never be seen again is one of the most horrible things a mom can do to a child. I can imagine how afraid they were. I know a mom can love their child so much that she would sacrifice giving their child up for a better life but that's KNOWING that her child is going to good parents that have been checked out. Where are these kids going? but out of the mothers arms. This has bothered me so much that I dreamed about this crowd of kids crying for their mothers. My thing is I just wish everything could be done legal. I know it's hard but it can be done. I've worked with people of different countries that have gotten their citizenship and pay taxes, social security and so forth. I probably don't have all the facts of how this is being done but in my mind I have 4 beautiful children that I would never part with.
Bearkat the other Marine your talking about is it your son? and what does MEU stand for?

The MEU is unique in that its air and ground combat elements are combined with a logistics combat element under one commander; other services do not unite the command of air and ground forces until much higher command levels.
When the United States Army integrates with Air Force assets, it typically is at the theater or corps level, with a general commanding, while at the division level it will integrate with Army aviation, which can be organized as organic at the battalion level.
The MEU's ground combat element also combines artillery, light armor and tanks at a much lower level than was common in the Army until the development of the brigade combat team early in the War on Terror, with a similar concept, the combat command, being utilized in World War II.
This air-ground task force concept is designed to thoroughly exploit the combat power inherent in air and ground assets by closely integrating them into a single force. The MEU brings all the supplies and logistical support it needs to sustain itself for quick mission accomplishment or to pave the way for any follow-up forces. This self-sustainment allows more flexibility in disposition and operations of forces, and allows the MEU to initiate operations sooner and let support catch up later, without having to wait for external logistical support to begin a mission. Deployments on U.S. Navy amphibious assault ships allows MEUs to seabase around the globe, ready for deployment at short notice.
A typical MEU has approximately 2,200 Marines and sailors. It is equipped with:

Yes. Two of my four boys are Marines. The oldest is the one now getting ready to ship out. He's coming back home for a quick visit next week on Monday, and then leaving to go back for another weekend getaway with his wife before he leaves.

Bearkat where is your son being shipped off too? I will be praying for him and also for your other son. I know your proud of both of them for their service to our Country, I am.
I hate to see any of the lakes dry up. Rain all over Texas is something else to pray about.
