An Update of the Golf Course

As luck would have it, I was called for Jury Duty on Monday. I had never been called upon for Jury Duty, nor do I wish to ever be called again. They called my name second, and I just about shit. I was thinking I would be able to breeze in and out without a worry. I was able to get out of it, by talking to the judge, but it was still very intense.

This trip to Smithers gave me another glimpse of the Golf Course. I could not believe the difference the weekend made. Most of the water is gone and now it looks like a brown silty mess. But the one thing is now there is some water where there never was water before. The owner has only had the golf course for 11 months and I doubt he'll open up again this season for the bottom half. They are still golfing up top.

Golf Anyone?

This is the Par 3 Golf Course in Smithers last Friday. It was really unbelievable. We drove to see it and I'm sure glad we did. I have never seen it like this. There was a lot of flooding around the area. Some homes were evacuated - but it has been downgraded to a flood watch now. It was bound to happen with the amount of snow we had this year. They say there is still 70 % of the snow pack left to melt, so I'm afraid the worst may not be over. They are predicting we will have high water for at least 3 more weeks. We've been lucky in Houston this year - not that we live where our house would flood, but others have been lucky.
