I bought on a lake that is part of a river system. I have 3 flights of stairs to the water. People on the other side of the lake are at water level. We all knew we were buying where we bought years ago. When our water rises from the "legal" level each spring the local paper always allows the people at water level to complain. In other states the fed Gov ends up insuring or paying people for damages. I don't think that is right. What do you think?

The water was about 6 feet below the road on the West side of the River.<br /><br />Tonight we are at Sikeston, Mo, and the campground is surrounded with water on three sides, but we are several feet above it. They claim the crest has passed here as of yesterday.<br /><br />Travel safely, the disaster will be there when you get there.

Their policy is that EVERYONE is carded, and he has to scan the Drivers License in front of a card reader. <br />You are such good people for doing what you do. The drive back there must be grueling. Good luck when you get there, I hope things go okay for you all. :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-38684293564045863932011-05-10T10:31:14.013-04:002011-05-10T10:31:14.013-04:00I'm sure Sean will be oh so thrilled to learn ...I'm sure Sean will be oh so thrilled to learn of his "job security". Good on ya though for knowing what to do. <br />Maybe the "dry" restaurant somehow had your membership on file? Or, maybe the waitress simply forgot. I can't remember the last time I was carded. Seriously, I think it must have been back in the seventies. <br />There was a point in time when it would have been met with a certain amount of glee, but now I'm afraid if anyone were to ask for ID where a drink is involved, they're probably just being a jerk.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.com
