Based on rain totals, almost all your rain fell in Nov, Dec. and Jan. At least the lake is full compared to last year.

Death and pastries: gay couple walks into Islamic bakery Chedoh 4/3/2015, 10:38 am Gay_Wedding_Islamic_Bakery.jpg [ 33.83 KiB \| Viewed 11172 times ] In Dearborn Michigan yesterday during the early afternoon hours a gay couple, who were searching for a bakery that would cater to their wedding needs, was surrounded by a crowd and pelted with rocks and loose bricks until their death. The couple walked into "By the Prophet," a well known Muslim-owned bakery and tea house and inquired about a cake with two grooms as the topper. The result was a small riot that caused their demise. There was no public outcry. Left wing media and commentators are currently debating behind closed doors about who to defend and who to blame over this catch-22 incident. Filmmaker Michael Moore, a Michigan native, was reached this morning for his take on the issue. "Its not like there is a clear bad guy here, I mean there's no Republicans, Christians, or even Jews involved," Moore said. "Who are we supposed to denounce in a situation like this?" Moore's confusion is echoed throughout the media and among his progressive peers. "Our colleagues are left with a big problem here," Moore continued. "I mean there are millions of people that are right now trying to point a finger in rage at someone over what happened, but instead their flaccid fingers are dangling towards the ground." Moore then turned his head to look out the window as a single tear ran down his face. "We have two oppressed groups of people here involved, so we are torn apart trying to unquestionably defend both of them," Moore continued. "If we dare call out our Muslim friends, that would imply we think they are violent. That would make us bigots and we'd be no different from the Islamophobic right-wingers." "Perhaps we can call this an example of a minority lashing out against white Christian supremacists. They have a right to their beliefs and we might just have to go with that," said the progressive filmmaker. "On the other hand, and we can't say that a gay couple were wrong to want a wedding cake from their bakery. Back to square one." As confusion runs rampant among the progressive ranks, once proud and outspoken liberals can be seen walking aimlessly in streets and in their homes with a blank look on their faces, having no clear target for their anger. "In the end," Moore added, "we will probably just have to bury this incident and forget that it ever even happened." What is all the fuss about? The grooms had several styles to select from. I found this example on a Muslim bakery site. See, you CAN get a Muslim gay wedding cake. http://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-blog/death-and-pastries-gay-couple-walks-into-islamic-bakery-t16162.html
