                                                                         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
