This Is What I Have To Put Up With


This is what I have to put up with. For days, the weather forecasters teased us with promises of ferocious storms, pounding rains, flooding, and severe weather alerts. They said sandbags were being provided for a nearby neighborhood. Sandbags! Wow!

I went out and dug a new drainage trench in front of my house. And for what? We just got the usual dismal Portland rain, the kind that happens every year. And this morning, when I got up and eagerly looked outside for the giant wall of water that was surely headed straight for the house, all I saw was this blue sky. Posted by Picasa
