Rain 2

5 1/4 inches in the last 36 hours. One tree limb down and all that grass I cut on Saturday will grow right back. (And, life being what it is, the drive belt on my mower is broken and the bolts I need to remove to replace it are rusted fast–I actually had to push the darn thing.)

The other local rag, the one I consider not worth a subscription, has some good pictures of the flooding here and here.

If you look at them, you might have the same question I do.

Why do some people confuse their personal automobiles with these?

    It’s the “watering hole syndrome”. It’s (getting flooded) is gonna happen to someone, just not them.

    I never heard it called that. But it makes sense. They think their Dodge Caravans are invincible.
