Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes / To save her shoes from gravel...

Extra good lightning this morning. I'm the first one in and have been for the last hour. The water was so deep where I got out of the car that it came up to my ankle.

I did something very silly, I took off my shoes, rolled up the work pants, and basically waded to the office. My fear was the danger of detritus on urban streets, but I didn't step on anything nasty. My pants are still wet, but my feet are in dry socks. I win.

I'll be here until the water recedes. In parts it was above my bumper. Shouldn't be more than forty bloody days.

...I loved the way the Bard O'Neal sang 'Bedlam Boys' at the NYRF...

That quote just brought back such wonderful memories for me..thank you!


(and you are damned lucky you didn't cut your foot, Mister!)

There's flooding in your area again??

Just because you cover a swamp with asphalt doesn't mean the swamp goes away. I'd like to blame global warming, but I'm pretty sure it's greedy land developers that should be crucified for most of the floods in Jersey.
