It’s storming outside. God’s gotta have a reason for all this rain, but heck if I know what it is. The front yard is already a mess and I’m sure the basement won’t be far behind. It “helps” when the ground’s already soaked and everyone’s gutters are overflowing. Neighbor Lady’s stuff is overflowing and will lead to eventual flooding of my basement, the guy on the other side has a lake for a front yard and the drainage ditch appears to be clogged, there might be standing water over the road. I’ve unplugged the computers but have chanced the gateway’s life on the superficial reasoning that there’s nothing else to do right now. So maybe I’ll take this time to upgrade WordPress here in a little bit.
It’s been over a week ago now, but the Saturday before Easter, I went with my sister and soon-to-be brother-in-law to the Jewel Box and Botanical Gardens in St. Louis to take some engagement photos for them.

I think it’s been raining for about 14 or 15 hours now. They said we’re going to get about 5 inches by Wednesday.

It has been raining for about the last three days I guess. And they’re calling for rain all weekend and all next week, too.
This might not be such a big deal but we really wanted to go to the zoo on Saturday. That and when it rains, my phone line acts up. The SBC guy is out there now trying to find the problem. This is the third or fourth one that has been here about this over the last year, I guess. Usually, though, by the time they get here, the line has dried up and they can’t find anything wrong with it. So, of course, this time, I called them as soon as I could. And it took them two days to send someone out. I feel bad that he’s out there in the pouring rain, but what am I supposed to do? Actually, with the phone line, my internet line usually goes, too. So I’m really surprised that not only the DSL but the wireless is working while I have no dialtone. What’s up with that?
So here’s to the rain going away, at least for tomorrow. I really want to go to the zoo!
