Burden?

Now post a link per stream flow data for Wisconsin, . . . more than
the Fed data if possible.

Don't have any links to stream flow data in Wisconsin. *I think I may
have had something for the middle branch of the Ontonagon River (U.P.,
not Wisconsin) some years ago when I learned about a controversy about
diverting the water, but those disappeared along time ago. *Nothing
else. *The thing is, generally, stream flow is not much of an issue in
this part of the world. *There's oodles of water everywhere around
here. *In fact, it's kind of hard to find a dry spot to sit on in
Michigan or Wisconsin. *Not much reason to fight over water......not
much reason to be obsessed with stream flow data. *Quite naturally,
this abundance of water here has led to a burgeoning of water
intensive enterprises, unlike places where a relative dearth of water
has led, quite unnaturally, to a burgeoning of water intensive
enterprises.....and a concommitant obsession with stream flow data.
Well, that's what ya get when EVERYBODY wants ALL of the paltry supply
of water, ainna? *I mean, ya might as well try agribusiness in a
****in' desert, eh?

Yeah sure. Near as I can tell most of those cute little rivers ya got
there never flood, unless there is some federal disaster money around
to scam. Anyway I always get a kick at those stream structures you
folk like to build on trout streams. Reminds me of Boy Scouts and the
pole and rope fun we used to have. Keep up the effort.

Well then, it would seem that with such natural advantages in your
aquarian State, and such a clear and simple personal understanding of
agribusiness, western water policy, and so much more, you could have
an incredible career as a motivational speaker in Midwestern farm
circles. My guess is that you could also probably put the Wisconsin
Fish agencies straight on why they have so much difficulty with
natural repro, huh? Stream flows not an issue huh?

While you are at it maybe you could be a catalyst in reducing
Wisconsin's use of Western coal-fired dirty power production. Like
maybe folks need to learn to turn off some of those lights we see so
clearly in the satellite pix? And that Forest Service lab those nasty
politicians have managed to retain in Wisconsin, despite the fact that
most of the real forestry research needs are in the West and the
South? Go tell them that they don't need to cling to those hundreds of
feather-bedded jobs, why there is a future for them in, wait for
it . . . Wisconsin Agriculture. Be their leader. Hooray. Come out West
and be our King and start your own religion.

Seriously Wolfgang, In my own limited way I have skin in the game,
real land, real water, real money. I have made decisions and
investments and done work that is motivated by my desire to make an
actual contribution to a healthy river environment. Different
decisions could easily make more money. But the choices ive made make
me feel good, and produce a reasonable return.

Why not go find more things that make you feel good, and cut back on
the snippity? I myself am a great example of moderation you could
learn much from.
