A month ago Roy told me that

"...in all my years your the first to ****** their
way into a kill file not due to crap posts but for my not wanting to
deal with a babbling freaking idiot.
Even Koi lo has not managed to get into my kill files as hard as they
try, but your a first."

Remember that? I wonder how you even saw the message.

Yeah, well afaict Roy _is_ Koi Lo (at least the abusive one). If only he'd
put us all in his kill file.

Grass is funny. We have a number of types of grass planted around our well
that are generally considered "invasive" - and were invasive where we dug
them up. Four years later, there are still bare patches around the well.

In any event, it has rained here the past week, and the water rose at
least 16 inches (before it submerged the yardstick I had put in there)
even though the weatherguessers said that the accumulation for this area
was
less than 6 inches. I didn't have a rain gauge out there so I don't know
exactly how much rain fell here. I guess it was more than 6 inches
because
I sure don't see any way water could drain in.

Unless your pond sides are vertical, the water level _will_ rise faster than
the precipitation rate, but if you're right about the pond being below the
water table then it would keep filling until it reached the water table
level, but rain will increase the subsurface pressure in the whole area,
and speed up the process.

There are
oodles of small tadpoles in the water, but this thing was far, far
bigger
than any of them. It didn't have any legs or anything either. I
couldn't imagine anything surviving the bulldozer and front end loader
and having the water pumped out of the pond, but then again I can't
imagine this
tadpole growing in just a month. So how fast do these things grow, or
was this most likely a (very lucky) survivor?

My bet is on survivor. I doubt it was that lucky - I bet there's a bunch of
critters that survived the digging.

We are the CroMagnon of the future

Aren't we already the CroMagnon of the past?
