In case I get washed away by the Great Flood (Noah? Where the Hell are you with that damn boat already?!) I just wanted you guys to know that its been fun getting to know each of you…
Seriously. Its still raining in such a way that I am thinking about hitching a ride home on next available current. Who cares if its also sweeping yesterday’s road kill and several abandoned cars away with it, it is still safer than driving in this mess.
The drainage ditch creek behind my apartment floods very quickly in storms like this. MrZoot just emailed me to say he was going home for the day (Bastard!) and I’m hoping he’ll start with the sandbagging so I wont have to worry with it when I get home. Its insane here folks. Where the hell are Mel Gibson and Sissy Spacek when you need them?
Anyone got an umbrella I can borrow? (or, as we say it here in Alabama, “bar-ree”), there doesnt look to be an end anytime soon.
Apropos of nothing… you live near Chattanooga? I will never, ever see that name and not think of my grandmother singing the “Chattanooga Choo Choo”.
Initially, I thought you meant bar-ree was pronunciation of umbrella…then I realized I was being dumb, but…
In Western PA, they call umbrellas “bumpershoots”..I’m not sure of the spelling…but, I just thought that I would share that abnormality with you.
Now is the time to improve those dubious swimming skills, Zoot. ACK!
Wow talk about a small world! I found your blog through so many other blogs and today I see the radar and I am like “Hey that is me too!” I am in Hunstville! And…my daughter is starting at UNA this fall. I was just sitting here at work thinking of how I dread driving home in this rain. This kind of weather makes me want to take a nap. Wanted to say hi and let you know you are not alone with needing the ark! Take care.
Holy cow!!! We’re so dry here that we would love to ave some of your water here. Pass is over!!
Take care. Don’t float away! I have a row boat if needed!
wow that sounds scary! I kinda miss those big storms and yet I don’t! Oh well I hope the flood bypasses you, keep us posted!
Okay, I was doing the rain dance backwards for you to try and help, but Genuine says that’s really the Baby Dance or something like that, so who knows WHAT might happen now.
It’s not nice to fool with mother nature! (evil laugh)
lol, nice and sunny here in California. about 83 degrees with a nice breeze…aaah, good times, good times.
amazingly enough it’s nice and sunny in seattle too. about 70 degrees. woo hoo!
I’m with Timmy, here in CA– you say ‘umbrella’, I think ‘folded newspaper’ at most.
like christine i thought baree was umbrella, so i was going to say i’d lend you my brollie.
Ya’all can barree ma ‘brella, but ya gotta come git it yersef…(not to bad southern talk for a colorado girl, eh?)
*gasp* if you see Kevin Costner with little vaginas behind his ears (can you believe his make-up artist thought they looked like gills?!) swimming by it’s not a flood it’s WATERWORLD . . .
yikes….be careful! we had rains that swelled our creeks and caused flooding here a few weeks ago…it’s NO fun!
