As I vaguely remember, there were several plant species and small shrubs that would get crowded out if fire did not reduce the underbrush occasionally. The thinning out of the underbrush created more space for seed bearing grasses that fed small rodents (read mice) and birds. Without the grasses the birds left the area. That's the best I can remember. Marty,

As I recall, when I showed up it started raining and didn't quit until I left... :) On a more serious note, why is it the EPA is allowed to continue to value the lives of animals over the lives of people? Don't get me wrong, I know we are all in balance and we need animals as part of our ecosystem, but they are releasing MORE than the mussels need to survive, right? What happens when they run completely out of water because they dumped so much away prior to the end of the drought? Next thought, have the conventions of the surrounding states thought to capitalize on this tremendous opportunity to serve? They could be collecting gallons of water and trucking them all over GA by now, and having a tremendous impact just by giving away water in the name of Christ.

We prayed and prayed for rain. Then one day the news announcers did a program on the dependence of much of the ecosystem on occasional sever droughts. It seems that some plants and some animals cannot survive without these dry times. I decided that God really does know better than I do what his world needs. I concluded that it was more important to pray about my attitude toward and action in a drought than it was to tell God how to run his world. Just a thought from some one still trying to figure it all out. Marty,
