How will we fare this summer-fall?

Thus far in 2008, I can spell DISASTER with all caps. Start with the midwest floods now underway, then keep in mind we have yet to get into the peak time for tropical storms. With each natural event that too often shatters lives and property, often beyond repair or recovery, we ought to remain thankful that the Army Corps of Engineers is around doing their job. You can say what you want about the effectiveness of levees and such built by the Corps, as approved and funded by Congress, but Corps folks care…big time. They show it everyday.
