Although we have plenty to be concerned about, I wonder what impact the recent melting days might [...] The Wall Street Journal just published an article about Oxbow and how the proposed Red River diversion may negatively impact this local community. Although I think it is very important that something be completed to protect as many people as possible, including Oxbow, I also hope the thoughts are more focused on what [...] There has been a lot of news coming out about the inevitable 2011 Red River flood, but the big picture still remains the same.
