Bjay Here: Yeah, that big old Red is powerful, like Bill explained,
But even at its best...It cant wash me up to Oklahoma.
Oh, yeah. I have another aquaintenence, that lost
a few acres running along the Big Red, in the 90 Flood.
It wasnt his Home, but a little place that they went for the weekends
and stuff. It was close to the river, around Hooks, back in there
somehwere. All along the river, folks loose afew feet every year. Dont
take long for that too mount up. I believe I live ''up'' from Jerry,
and he lives ''down'' from me.
