That's Lisa's nephew Jesse out trying to clear a fucking drain near his place about 4-5 blocks from here.
We've only gotten about 3 inches, maybe 4 in the past 3 days but our yearly total up to this point was .87" of rain. No rain for months and months and then a deluge, and that fucking water is going to sit on that hardpan instead of soaking in. Not only that but it's flatter than a motherfucker around here so it's got nowhere to run to.
I was giving some serious thought to sandbagging around the patio door earlier as I was watching the water inch closer and closer but it's slowly receding now that the rains have taken a break.
And how many of you can give me the next line of the song in the title?
"% feet high and rising..."
ReplyDeleteWe'll give you credit for the mis-key Fred, and you're absolutely right.
ReplyDelete3 feet high and rising......
I want to see you in hip-waders. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow. Blast from the past. I haven't heard that song in years. I'm going to have to look it up on YouTube. They sure as hell don't play that on the radio nowadays.
ReplyDeleteKeep your powder dry.
