Greetings from Sportsman's Park, northwest edge of Fort Worth, on Eagle Mountain Lake.  I've been watching the water inch up a bit at a time. The lake is incredibly low; however, it is a haven for swans, all kinds of ducks, geese, pelicans, sea gulls and other birds. It's fun to watch them from my RV desk that faces the lake.  There is a kayak outside that is not being used due to the lack of water. Even though it is rainy, the mood inside is great with the TV on and my laptop in my lap. Best thing I've downloaded in a long time and I think is the best freeware to hit the net is "Advanced Toolbar" for IE. You can download it at www.advancedtoolbar.com and you can customize it to your liking. It is far better than the Yahoo or Google toolbar. Just wanted to pass it along to everyone, because it enables you to quickly get to maps, phone books, news, weather, free utilities, etc. It works great with Internet Explorer 7. If you haven't upgraded to IE 7, you should do that as soon as you can.

So much for my rambling, just wanted to pass this info along.
