Minimum Water Flow Update...
Nov'05--Quote from Arkansas Congressman Marion Berry regarding minimum flow: "Improving Trout Fishing Along the White River: After years of work to improve trout fishing opportunities along the White River in North Central Arkansas, Congressman John Boozman (AR-03) and I, were able to secure language in the Fiscal Year 2006 Energy and Water Appropriations bill that directs the Army Corps of Engineers to release minimum flows on the White River at Bull Shoals and Norfolk Lakes and construct a fish hatchery in the tailwaters at Beaver Dam. This victory puts an end to decades of debate over chronic low water levels that limit trout growth and survival below Bull Shoals and Norfork dams. The changes to the water flow will improve trout habitat without increasing rates for electric customers who rely on hydropower produced at the dams".

Tile is "soooo nice". We're replacing a lot of our used carpet with tile. Allen Banks (and helper, Daniel) do a nice job with installation.

"Trees don't live forever...
I guess". "This huge (over 130 feet tall) sycamore tree had to be taken out as old age (or maybe lightening or some disease) finally caught up with it. We still left the trunk standing, but the rest had to be removed piece by piece as it stood proudly right next to our conference center building".
