I did the boat tour too when I was there over 10 years ago.

 

..43 miles of catacombs under the river....pretty neat read as is how they reversed the flow of the Chicago River from into Lake Michigan to now down to Mississippi River...

When the construction crew drove the piling accidentally  through the river wall during the early 1990s (1991?)... The water flooded a lot of the service tunnels and basements of skyscrapers.  They at the harbor controlling works were full closed  Us, 20 miles away were running 40 feet of dam... Full open... To attempt to just keep the shipping canal deep enough.

I think the river, the one that takes you through parts of the city under the bridges

Sorry to stray from OTopic.  But there is a Lake & River cruise.  Air & Boat show is coming up... Outside of Seattle, they are processing the most vessels... 3 days of Air & Boat, they will process 5,000 individual vessels.  Gets pretty crazy, crowded.

 

I really should make peace with @BringBackFergy & @Cripple Creek and score them some cruise tickets!

 

But anyway... To stay on topic. Hard NOT to say the U.S. craziness is spilling into Canada. It's spilling everywhere through out the world.

Things like this happen and then they give a bad name to computer games or "gamers".

 

But when some whack job goes postal and kills 3 co-workers with a sharpened pencil to the throat, it doesn't seem to give a bad name to pencils.

 

Gaming isn't the problem.  Your crazy ass kid is the problem.

Wooo... Not so fast!  Is there a game out there that people play 24/7 that uses pencils to stab out jugular veins?

 

We might think different about pencils.

 

These gamers are sitting behind a virtual first person shooter world for hours on end.  I can see where reality and virtual reality can get blurred.

 

They don't call YouTubers "influencers" for nothing.  

 

Really bad example you used.  Apples and oranges.

Lake tour, river or both?

 

Incredible the Lake is now 5 higher than it was 10 years ago.

 

A foot higher than when I started in 1991.

 

That's because you keep effing with the flow!  #GodComplex

Huh?

Do you even know how things work? It's high. If we are effing with the flow, it should get lower, lower, and lower. We don't put water back... We take, take, take!  Millions of gallons per minutes!

 

Anyway... Do you know how big and deep Lake Michigan?  The the river openings are like trying to drink the ocean with a straw.

 

Now... I will give you dredging the mouth of Lake Huron  (basically one lake with L.Michigan, they are same elevation) below the bedrock north of Detroit.... But again, that should make Huron-Michigan drain FASTER and hence Lakes get LOWER. AND the water added INTO Lake Superior in Canada via the Arctic is tightly controlled into Huron-Michigan @ The Soo.  That's all set international. If anything... They would draw us down over a year or so.  Create a stranglehold.

 

Illinois is drinking the inland "sea" through a straw! We ain't doing shi... Drop in the bucket.

 

If Mother Nature ran unabated... There would be no divide, species would freely go back and forth uncontested.  You'd cry about that.

 

/smh... Hate to say, but don't be an idiot even if you are trolling!

Bottom line:  You're going against God's will and we're all being punished for it!

Nobody is being punished here.  Sh... Rolls down hill.  We are having a blast. It's just high.  It would have to go a lot higher... And anyway... We just send it away... All areas of the Lake.

 

If not controlled God would then punish.

 

It's actually pretty cool looking right now! Got long way to go before we "punish ourselves."

..pretty remarkable story...I was there for a conference and got to know the principals of the host engineering firm...they were on the boat tour so it was like having our own local tour guides.....:thumbsup:

Up here in Canada we like to look at the crazy shh you Americans do and pretend like we're not crazy too.. But some lunacy has been happening up here. I might have to move further north!!

 

First we had those two kids playing real life Grand Theft Auto, killing 3 people, stealing cars and evading police and even the Canadian Army(which is probably 3 guys on a Canoe).

https://www.foxnews.com/world/canada-murder-fugitives-live-weeks-wilderness-survival

 

Now some gamer kid killed his whole family and posted the pics on a gaming forum, because he didn't want them to be ashamed of him since he's been skipping University. WTF

Yeah, that's the question no one is sure of the answer to yet.

 

Still, I'd rather pay the taxes on $10k than have to pay off the full $10k debt.

 

 

Yeah but in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Canada wouldn’t the taxes on $10K of income be $11K?

Increase of craziness is due to population increase/pressure and easy access to media resulting in more "Look at me acts.".  I think elimination of low level jobs contributes.

Yes Jerry Jones says things like that so anyone cheering against Dallass Cowpokes is disrespecting God.
