Funny you should mention Miami. I have tried to search YouTube and Google Video for fishing videos in Miami, and have yet to find any. Oklahoma, that is. Maybe we like to keep our trash to ourselves.

Bump

Mo~ I noticed at the first of the show, when he got out of the vehicle, all the trash dumped out and he left it there. Surely they wouldn't leave it there. Even if it was a spoof, it was done in bad taste while promoting a sport. Interesting video...

I talked to an Indian agency this morning, and you would not believe how much information he had. For starters, he said that the state of Oklahoma is in contact with the office of the Governor of Kansas. And, Baxter Springs, Ks. is not the only one allowing contaminates into the river. It was his understanding that the other entinty is as bad or worse than the waste being dumped be Baxter Springs. It looks like the issue is being addressed. How long it will take to come up with a solution, is anyone's guess. More, later. Rusty

Wily~ Can you post a photo of YOUR boat? And, where are you located? Rusty

Is it evolution, or has time become such a precious commodity that evolution is taking a step backwards?

It appears to be used a lot on the computer. My daughter has used it in papers for school and the teachers are allowing it. Whats up?

prolly? Is it a phonics, ebonics term? Is the English language coming to an end?

Hang in there Michael. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

I just got off the phone with the ODEQ. Their reply was, if the discharge is happening in Kansas, it could not be handled by ODEQ. I then asked if the ODEQ could run water quality test down stream from the discharge, and that is when I was given another number to contact. Here we go on the marry-go-round. Also, the states allow emergency discharges if the lagoons are over capacity. I guess you can build your sewage systems to the minimum standards, then if it rains, you can pollute surrounding areas. My understanding was Baxter Springs sewer system is outdated and they do not have the funds to meet standards. So they get a free pass on polluting a very good fishing river. Hey, it has worked for Arkansas for years, why not Kansas now. Maybe by the time it is on the EPA's most polluted rivers, it will be addressed. BTW, if you can't tell, this really ticks me off.

Bill~ They are very proactive in situations like this. We need to find positive proof that this is happening. I think I will email the Joplin Globe and see what type of a response I get. My question is, if the health officials know about this, then the State knows about this. Why are they not stepping up and doing something.

Has anyone heard anything about a town on the Kansas side of Spring River dumping sewage into the river? I was talking to a person yesterday and he said he saw and heard that they were dumping sewage into the river and health officials were saying not to eat the fish caught in Spring River. Supposedly, they do not have the capasity to support the town and are dumping raw sewage into the river. Can anyone confirm this. I tried searching the web last night and could not find anything.

Started raining @ 9:30 am and snow @ 12:00 pm. BIG snow flakes. I noticed Thursday evening that our carport is starting to bend in the middle from the weight of the sleet. We have our vehicles parked in the street for fear that it will collapse. With this additional snow it might do it tonight.

T Boone Pickens son was spotted in town the other day, around Battlefield and National.

Anybody need one. New, he just got them in today. 3 - 6500 watt gas with electric start. Located in Miami, Ok. 750.00 each. They are located at East Central Pawn. 918-540-3030.

Yes I did, with the help of you and Terry B. Thanks.

Testing I figured it out...Finally

The last photo reminds me of the movie "The Abyss".

I talked to my brother, who lives in Springfield, Mo., and he said there are an estimated 125,000 without power in Springfield at this moment. Some as early as 10:00 pm last night, that still don't have power. Could be 3-4 days before power is restored.

Just think, if this happened in Vermont or Colorado, he would already be out on bail.

27 degrees with 1 3/4 - 2 inches of sleet and ice. Hope the power stays on tonight.

Do you still have a contact for him? :ph34r: Just kidding

Funny you should say that. 45 minutes ago, I talked to a Ford dealer, and their quote was 70.00 higher per tire than any others quoted.

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Thanks to all who have commented. Am I making this to hard? My mind is spinning.

I am looking for a set of tires, but I am in a all new area when it comes to buying tires for a 3/4 4x4 Suburban, that will be pulling a travel trailer. What I have been looking at are the Michelins LTX, Goodrich A/T, and the Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor, 8-10 ply tires. All are priced about the same, but I need some feedback. Good, Bad, and the Ugly. Thanks in advance Rusty
