Here is a picture I took on Saturday afternoon of the ramp at the largest marina on Lake Texoma - Highport Marina (formerly Loe's Highport) which would normally be full beyond capacity. The Corp of Engineers issued a swimming ban due to blue/green algae which scared off virtually every boater for the weekend. It reminded me of the empty skies after 911. All the local businesses suffered a huge loss from what is usually one of the 3 largest weekends of the year. The extreme heat and lack of rain caused the algae to blossum. This has been the hottest summer on record for north Texas. Bill
