That's so strange seeing that truck down there and no water.

That makes sense. I didn't realize it was that young. It's hard to imagine Lady Bird Lake without water. If the river hadn't been dammed there and the level controlled, I wonder what kind of affect that would have on the NIMBYS who oppose density along the river. You can't argue for it if there isn't any water! Of course, I'm glad we have it. Water front skylines are so much more interesting.
