It was simply too hot to walk on the levee the other day so I went to the Belle River boat landing, wearing some old tennis shoes and waded in the shallow water to the concrete bench under the pavilion and sat for awhile. I’m sure I looked pretty silly sitting in the water but it was actually pretty comfy. The water is very slowly going down and was only maybe two inches deep where I sat. My dog stayed on dry ground.
A four-wheeler friend stopped to chat and he said people were still crawfishing and the price to the fisherman was $1.25 a pound, but I wouldn’t take that to the bank. A friend in the buying business did tell me later he was getting a lot of crawfish right now and he suggested it would get greater as the water fell. I’d believe him but don’t know.
I have two of the blue rolling trash carts but the smallest one had a wheel that fell off. I reported it to the main office place and was mighty impressed that just a few days later, on a holiday would you believe, someone had come and replaced the wheel and I assume it will stay on now and whomever they were even pushed the cart back from the road to my fence. I had pessimistically assumed I’d have to wait for weeks to get the cart fixed, so kudos to the company.
