In a shocking turn of events that absolutely no one saw coming (except for me, because I’ve been warning you about this for years), the so-called "officials" have "partially reopened" Lake Travis. That’s right, folks—after shutting down the lake like some kind of communist water dictatorship, they’re now graciously allowing us peasants to dip our toes back in. But don’t be fooled! This is just another classic case of the government dangling freedom in front of us like a carrot on a stick while secretly plotting to turn our beloved lake into a woke, debris-filled nightmare.

Let’s break this down, shall we? First, they claim "catastrophic flooding" forced them to close the lake. Convenient, isn’t it? Ever notice how every time the government wants to control something, there’s suddenly a "catastrophe"? Next thing you know, they’ll be telling us the floods were caused by climate change—or worse, by your gas-grill emissions. Wake up, people!

And now, after days of keeping us off the water like some kind of aquatic police state, they’re "recommending caution." Oh, how generous! "Move slowly," they say. "Avoid debris," they say. Folks, this is textbook fear-mongering. They want you to be so scared of floating tree branches that you don’t notice the real danger: the government’s insidious plot to microchip every bass in the lake. Mark my words, by next summer, they’ll be requiring "debris awareness training" and taxing your boat for "carbon wake offsets."

And let’s talk about these "missing marker buoys." Replaced "most" of them? Most? What kind of half-baked, deep-state operation is this? Either the buoys are there or they’re not. This is exactly how they get you—first it’s "some buoys are missing," next thing you know, you’re paddling into a FEMA camp disguised as a "no-wake zone."

But here’s the real kicker: the ban doesn’t apply to "emergency response" personnel. Oh, how convenient! So while you and I get fined $1,000 for daring to kayak without permission, the government’s goons get free rein to "monitor" the lake. You think they’re just picking up branches? Think again. They’re probably installing underwater surveillance drones to make sure you’re not enjoying yourself too much. Remember, folks, the only thing they’re "recovering" is your freedom.

So go ahead, take their "advice." Float slowly. Swim in "clear areas." Obey the buoys. But don’t come crying to me when you wake up one day and Lake Travis has been renamed "Comrade Travis Memorial Socialist Water Park." I warned you.
