Shoaling cont. from A1 near the intersection of the Deposition Basin and Inner Entrance Channel decreased in extent and elevation during the study interval. Despite the persistent peak elevations of existing shoals in the Deposition Basin, no segments presented the potential for depth-limited navigation along channel centerline from HWY 361 (Deposition Basin) to the landward end of the jetties. The location of shoals identified during July 2019 were consistent with that documented during Nov/Dec 2018, shoal development after construction (2006-2011), and over the years following the full maintenance dredge (2013- 2018).

But from what I saw Saturday the Aggie faithful could probably fill up a couple of stadiums the size of Kyle Field. I met my friend Don at a tailgate party outside the stadium where he has had the same spot for years. Don is one of the many Aggies who retired to College Station to be near Kyle Field and the A&M campus.

Last Thursday was the last day on the street for this handsome guy after Moon Jan set a trap for him and he took the bait. Dr. Tristan and the staff at the Animal hospital tended to his needs and he is almost ready for his new home.
