11-mile stretch of Mississippi River closed

The U.S. Coast Guard says 97 boats and barges are waiting for passage along an 11-mile stretch of the Mississippi River that has been closed because of low water levels.

Coast Guard spokesman Ryan Tippets told The Associated Press on Monday that the stretch of river near Greenville, Miss., has been closed intermittently since Aug. 11, when a vessel ran aground.

If the river gets any lower, a land bridge will open between Mississippi and Arkansas. Maybe the Neanderthals will migrate.

8. Solution: we need a massive area to be a reservoir from one year to the next

Take some land and flood it with the excess water from 2011, and use it in 2012. I suggest the land belonging to anyone who votes for Inhofe in Oklahoma, Akin in Missouri, or Michele Bachmann in Minnesota.
