I noticed a great milfoil bloom on Capitol Lake. What does this portend for the future of the great reflecting lake? Is there a dredger in the future? A weed harvester? Or perhaps a return to the native estuarine habitat? What if we just let it be and see how thick the weeds can get. Do you think the entire surface of the lake could become overwhelmed by them? What if they became so thick that they jammed up the dam and caused a flood. It seems that the "FLOD" (Fetid Lake of Doom) maybe having the final say on this human altered landscape experiment.

Unfortunately the milfoil doesn't show up very well in the following image, but if you go there, it's plain to see.
