No raft or kayak?
Paddle board?

There used to be about 35 acres of hilly pasture rising behind my house. Over the last half-dozen years, that has been noisily bull-dozed, trenched, flattened and filled, rinsed and repeated. Now it hosts a sparkling new First Temple of Responders (complete with an ear-splitting siren on a 30 foot pole), and is in the process of completing:

• four baseball, softball, and multi-purpose fields with lighting (essentially duplicating what the local middle school and high schools already have)
• a picnic shelter
• a playground
• restrooms
• over 300 parking spaces
• walking trails

The only problem is that those 35 acres used to be an integral part of my watershed. So now, my property will flood with a mere inch of rainfall. That's progress. What else could they possibly do with $13,000,000?

A lot depends on how much of that money gets siphoned off to salaries, bonuses, and various non-obvious payoffs.

At least you don’t have 500 new neighbors, HOA’s, and associated Karen’s.

My weather today was 3—three cigars on the front porch. Clear blue sky.

I'm about 1 month from starting my 2025 grow, but there's a snow storm (~9-10 inches) in the forecast for a week from now.

I started hardening off my pepper seedlings on Sunday, but I haven't started tomatoes yet.
