me either but there’s always collateral damage

and its nature doing it not other people, so no blame for us

nope, i think its just bad rains and the problems that occur whenyou put dams all over places that didn’t have them before

the mississippi and its tributaries have problems all the time and we have dams of all kinds all up and down them

I don’t give a rat’s hind leg for the Chinks.It’s their government, their country, their screwed up culture. Life’s a bitch. It’s worse when you embrace Communism.

Yes, the characters match.

But Communists are big into standardization of messages.

I was trying to see if items on the horizon matched.

On close examination, it is not certain. The angles the photographs are different enough to not be certain.

It may be the same sign.

China must not be too worried as they’ve only opened 3 of the 22 gates.

How many of the 23 bottom outlets are open?

How much higher can the water get before maximum capacity is reached? Can the dam withstand that capacity being exceeded, and by how much? (assuming the best and the fears about Chinese quality control are unfounded)
