Water’s receded sufficiently to see road. Breelahn had a panic attack and insisted on coming home. The lady of the house just dropped her off. Janisen wants to come home too. I’m off to get her.
Our local bishop just linked this on facebook. It recaps the current flood warnings for our area up here.

35 Squawk The last time I had to perform neck surgery it was on a Libertarian with his cerebellum inserted into his colon.

Flooding on our front street is at the highest I’ve ever seen. I don’t think our house will flood but we’re pretty much locked in our home. Our two girls are at other people’s homes and it looks as if they’ll need to spend the night.
Late to the party. Howdy y’all. Just spent four hours at the doctor, prognosis not good. Strong possibility I may have to have neck surgery. Prayers and cares would be appreciated. I usually handle this type of adversity without telling anyone but the lovely wife and my Mom, but this time is different. Shannon I’ll have you know I’ve lived… Read more »
Shooting hoax at UCLA brings police. Despite the fact that there are 2 reported dead, I know that the story is a hoax because the UCLA campus is a gun free zone. Duh. They think people will believe that there is a shooter in a gun free zone – what planet are they from. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-ucla-shooting-20160601-snap-story.html

Bob was sitting on the plane, waiting to fly to Detroit, when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was an emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking, obviously in fear. “What’s the matter,” Bob asked, “flying bother you?” “No, I’ve been transferred to Detroit. I’ve heard things are terrible there. They’ve got lots of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs,… Read more »

Good morning Hamsters. Well, it was an eventful day yesterday all right. Brazos water started filtering in on a reverse drainage path toward us, and by last night we were islands in a lake bigger than any we’ve seen when it was raining like hell for hours out here. We have water up to the foundation but not over the… Read more »

I think that was Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 that flooded the Medical Center (and most of the rest of Houston). In addition to generators and other equipment, there were lots of medical research projects housed in the basements. All their test animals (mostly rats) drowned.
