The Lake is rising

As the Earth Module was parked in November Lake Roosevelt held 30 percent of the water it could.  In the last couple of days it is up to 45% and will keep going higher.  The snow and rain are bringing the lake up quickly.  A large houseboat that was stuck sixty feet from the water in the mud is now floating.  The best part of the moisture is seeing streams run that are dry for years.  The hiking is more spectacular when you get to see waterfalls tumbling from the mountains.

Amazing how empty the campgrounds are.  The Canadians did not show up this year. The exchange rate for them is terrible. All the Americans are pissed off because of the new fees are higher for everything.  As usual working people are being squeezed.  This is just the start. As Trump tries his best to shovel more tax breaks to the rich the middle class will suffer more.  Destroying Obama care will certainly cost poor people money.  As a society we try to stop smoking by taxing it, so it only makes sense to have a strong tax on poor people.  Taxing the poor will make them realize they need to work and get rich.
