We're talking about people familiar with the thing commenting about strong boiling/surging. REcalling the report, true or not, of the major runoff channels being empty about 3 weeks ago. And this morning there appeared to be fresh and wet runoff "channels" where there aren't usually any such things. A quick look found nothing out of the ordinary. All I'm saying -- people have been reporting things that aren't the norm. It's worth paying attention.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? <A title="http://food.aol.com/dinner-tonight?NCID=aolfod00030000000001" href="http://food.aol.com/dinner-tonight?NCID=aolfod00030000000001" target="_blank">Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food</A>.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
