    Getting weird down here. Simply doesn’t rain in the summer. Never saw water levels so low, and I’m outside a lot, pay attention to the local environment. There were places my kayak couldn’t go.

    🎶 The preacher man says it’s the end of time

    And the Mississippi River, she’s a-goin’ dry 🎵

    That was considered unthinkable in '81, Biblical end kinda shit. (Country Boy Can Survive - HW Jr.). 40-years later and we were a week or three out from a fucking disaster because the Mississippi watershed couldn’t push the salt water back into the Gulf.

    Imagine if we dry out like that and then a hurricane hits. Noachian Flood.
