Cuz skeeters like crackers, and all them fancy Watercolor types from up north Georgia way ran the crackers off. Or maybe window screens, good drainage and air conditioning had something to do with it. Nah, I like the cracker theory, it is a really inconvenient truth.

Actually, the Swedes and Norwegians that moved here were called "Crackers". And they say we have progressed! So much for equal opportunity, and eliminating racial prejudice! Seems to me human nature hasn't changed, just gotten worse. Put your money where your mouth is! It's a very poor individual that must put someone else down to elevate themself!

Many of the Wetlands determinations are governed by plants that have recently been added to the list. Palmetto, Dollar weed, etc., that at one time were not considered to be in a wetland. Wetlands were considered more a saltmarsh, with tidal activity usually twice daily. Breeding areas for game fish, among other things. Much effort was taken to make sure that the water did not stagnate, but was able to wash through. Fallen debree would clog it up.

Can you help me out here? I was unaware of our twice daily tidal activity here, other than on the shoreline of the Gulf. Where does this activity happen?

Also, since when did Palmettos and Dollar Weed plants determine wetlands?

Those same people you so liberally ridicule. There's a whole world outside of 30A you know. Perhaps you should do a bit of exploring.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: You are so right. I've never left this side of the road, and don't know jack about places elsewhere.
