This afternoon I went to check out the reservoir that serves as a both a source of water and as a recreation area.  In the photo above, you can see the stack of a new bathroom near the beach which is completely underwater.  The water level is up about fourteen feet from its regular levels which means secions of the road have completely disappeared.  A bridge from the main shore to a recreational island where I would play disc golf is also completely underwater.  The power of nature, the power of water!

Attempting to keep the water in check is still resulting in flooding on the low side of the reservoir’s dam.  It seems that man can’t completely contain nature.  Nor, can man completely contain the unconscious.  Shadow continues to seep out along the edges.
