Now I know there’s pros and cons to progress
and sometimes the pros outweigh the cons but
sometimes the cons just seem like they catch up
with you little bit specially on the Mississippi
River.
Up until this barge wouldn’t buy that came out
of the channel water was pretty much the same
as he always said lotta sediment not too bad on
the pollution why is it not too much for the
pretty much excepted you could look at not
worry about drinking we have a filter well long
about the time this barge one by the whole
shoreline turn black and I’m not exaggerating I
took a look at it and I kept thinking May and I
don’t know what is Lincoln but you can’t tell
me that that just came out a natural because
you’re enough before it happened there was
nothing on the shoreline now after it happened
oh you could see it was not Blacksand it look
like it was something beautiful on one of the
beaches it look like one of those cons to
progress and unfortunately that happens now I
can tell you for sure that after a good rain or
after maybe some high tide and low tides that
this too shall pass and once again Mississippi
be back to a river that recovering because after
all there was a time when I guess they didn’t do
as good a dredging as they used to and I guess
they didn’t have as much money as they used to
and are used to get pretty rough around
here same thing with true I guess it one time
with the pollution they just let it go until they realize that they were killing the Gulf of Mexico well now people are
trying to do a better job I’m not going to say everybody’s perfect and I’m not going to say everybody should be a greeny
but somewhere in between the two whether your green or yellow or black or white or red or purple all over we all got to
work together in order to keep the river A safe place to paddle and did you splash in especially if you want to go
swimming I’m not too sure about swimming across the river because there are occurrence but I guess it could be done
good after all when I went down Mississippi River there was somebody that was swimming from one into the other and
he did it
