Folks, due to lots of rain in our area over the past couple weeks, the Corp of Engineers decided to open the flood gates at Percy Priest Lake. Percy Priest is a big lake covering 14,500 acres and is 42 miles long. We are expecting more rain, so to accommodate that, they are lowering the lake level. Heard about this on the news, so headed to the dam to check it out. My wife asked..."Is that a man standing in the water right below the dam?" Sure enough it was...somebody had waded out on the rocks below the spillway. There are warning signs all over warning of turbulent water, and no trespassing...but those didn't hinder this guy one bit. In fact he was having a good ole time, even snacking on something while fishing.

Not a problem. Nature has a way of removing such folks from the gene pool.
But this is one of the big advantages of learning to READ!!!
Nice series, James.

That just might be this guys defense when he gets arrested. Either that, or he'll get arrested for possession of soggy french fries.

The dumbo out there reminds me of scenes from _Parallax View_.
An ambitious reporter gets in way-over-his-head trouble while investigating a senator's assassination which leads to a vast conspiracy involving a multinational corporation behind every event in the worlds headlines.
