I just read an article yesterday about a second instance of drug resistant bacteria being found in the US.
The other instances previously known were in China, and now China controls our largest pork production facilities.
Coincidence ?
Youtube is great ... but my soil, the weather, and my plants (and God Who made them all) teach me things that Youtube doesn’t have. At some point, you have to get out from in front of the computer and actually do things.
But yes: Youtube is a great resource.
sorry I missed your question.
the answer is no we are not in the flood area, although the Ohio River is in our back yard. Fortunately there is also a nice flood wall between us and the river. We don’t get a lot of flooding here because it’s flatter. We have hills, but also lots of farm land. Where the flooding happened is not new to those folks. They are down in the mountains where the only place they can build is on the narrow valleys between mountains. hey are getting lot so help from the rest of the state. We are mobilized and everyone is doing something to help. My elderly parishioners are filling “flood buckets” with cleaning supplies. Great people in WV and they are tough.
Downstream from a Kansas City flood would be in Missouri, not Oklahoma.
Downstream includes Oklahoma. Ever hear of Grand River Dam? Water generally runs down hill unless something stops it.
I was in the far North East Corner of Oklahoma and remember the flood well because Grand River Damn Authority held the water back. We had rivers on both sides of our town and farm land was flooded for miles, in fact one of my school mates drowned on his farm.
You might recall Kansas City put several Railroad Engines on one of their bridges to try and save it and lost the Engines when the Trestle went down. In our town, being just dumb Okies, they loaded several cars of gravel on our trestle and saved it without risking Engines.
Yep. I'm from Oklahoma myself. And the Neosho (Grand) goes no closer to Kansas City than Emporia.
You're evidently saying Kansas City when you mean Kansas.
Oklahoma is downstream from Kansas on the Neosho, Caney, Arkansas, Salt Fork and Cimarron. But not on the Kaw and Missouri, which flow thru Kansas City, thence into Missouri.
I have made many a pilgrimage to the Park in Miami for the annual spoonbill run. I went to school in Commerce and remember well that rural students could not make it to school, livestock was lost and a student was drowned trying to care for his livestock. Water was overdosed with chlorine for weeks after the flood receded.
Not a drop of water that passes by KCKS or KCMO ends up in Oklahoma. Downstream is Missouri.
Your part of Oklahoma is downstream from Kansas, alright. But not downstream from Kansas City.
Look at a map.
How about you show me how to fill one side of a bathtub.
Look at it this way: Kansas drains into two bathtubs -- Missouri and Oklahoma.
Look at it this way they both drain to the same place.
Eventually, yes. The Gulf.
