Pressure building

Another month is over and still no tank installed. Today we took my husband's repaired loader down to the oasis and left it by the sand pile.


The plan is to get some help and spread the sand on the pad on Saturday. Then more sand is going to be delivered in a week. That will be for extra padding or leveling if needed, just in case. The installation is scheduled for the 15th of November. I'll have to see it to believe it.

Meanwhile, the tank covering tiles I ordered for the rock tank to prevent evaporation are supposed to be delivered this week. So maybe things will start happening.

I posted this photo on Facebook of more yucca leaving the Big Bend area. I'm amazed at how many comments are so pro-harvesting. Some of the people get real nasty about it.


But it's worth enduring the hateful remarks to know people are being made aware of this anyway. Maybe that'll help things move in a more positive direction sooner. Not optimistic though.

The pioneers confidently slaughtered bison, believing they could never make a dent in their numbers. And the same for other species. Passenger Pigeons come to mind. I do think the United States is better at preventing extinctions these days than many other countries, for what that's worth.
