Rain Rain, get the F out of here.
In the words of Monty Python, for those of you who don’t like rain, there’s rain. More rain. Lots and lots of rain. (actually they said “sport” but that really doesn’t fit my post)
You know it’s bad when 2 of the 3 roads you use to get home from work are flooded out. In my city, 1750 homes are being evacuated as we speak. The bridge that goes over the river between two states is now closed and guarded by the National Guard. Hey, that’s cool — the national guard actually being used as the natinoal guard. You know, as opposed to getting illegal immigrants, etc. Sorry, of course I have to get that in. Anyway, we are one of the few cities that have reverse 911, so the fire department bulk dials everyone who has to leave. It’s actually a pretty impressive system — the city uses the same system to cancel school — so when my cell phone rings, my home phone rings and I get email all at the same time, I know there’s no school for the kids.
Anyway, it’s been freaking crazy. Thankfully, our house is ok, but our mother in law got the call to voluntarily evacuate. She’s staying — for now (she’s not that far away from us, so either she got an incorrect call or we’re going to get one).
And of course this fun + not feeling so well = fun times. So, I’ll try to take it easy tonight, watch some hot 24 action and get some sleep.
Bill, it’s called Entex. Ask for it by name. LOL. May cause mind numbing drowsiness though. I’m just saying.
