Sign of the times......

Sign of the times.  First time in many years that they have closed the April Sound Marina.  With the drought and water shortage, the Lake is now having to help provide to the City of Houston to maintain their water supply.  In the '60's when Lake Conroe was developed, part of the agreement with the City of Houston for funds was signed.  A trade-off if you will.  I believe this is only the 2nd time in Lake Conroe's history this has happened. Going one step further, this little ditty was sent to me by a friend and I thought given the sad state of the economy, the weather and politics, I thought it might provide a sort of sick humor...
The economy is so bad that: I received a pre-declined credit card in the mail. CEO's are now playing miniature golf. Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen. Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America. Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore. A picture is now only worth 200 words. They renamed Wall Street " Wal-Mart Street". Finally, I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.
