    I guess spraying weeds is essential on Lake Griffin

    Just a heads up. The spray plane was spraying the offshore grass between Haines Creek and Yale Canal.

    Did You notice if the water level was up/down? That 'may' open up an avenue to get an injunction on spraying if they haven't/don't change their 'squirting formula' e.g. *spraying the amount of carcinogens to cover 100 surface acres when there is now only 80 surface acres

    * Used as an example as I do not know what the State of Florida™ deems to be an appropriate amount of cancer causing carcinogens sprayed in the water shed.

    The water level is down some. Not a drastic change but definitely a little lower.

    Plane was dropping something on Eustis this morning. Not sure if they were spraying weeds or practicing fire drops. It was a red and white sea plane.

    Hez texted me yesterday as the planes were overhead. The water is down, not significantly, but we haven’t had rain in 5-6 weeks. This cannot be “essential” right now. There’s only 1 spot in Griffin they could have been spraying anyway...and that’s where they were. Infuriating!
