Subject:mea culpa (a little bit) was Re: F/ White Salmon River damn "burst"

Ok, Alistair, I did fail to notice that you used "damn" rather than "dam."  But, in my circles, most dams are just a means of damning a stream.  That is, once the stream is dammed, it is damned.  Maybe this one will recover eventually, now that the damned dam is gone.
