I woke up this morning intending to go running, but the crack of thunder put the kibbosh on that idea. Now it is raining cats and dogs, threatening to wash away the tons of sod and seed that my friends and I laboured to put down this past weekend (which might explain why the drainage ditch is thick with grass...). The lights flickered a few times with each loud boom, but we haven't lost power (yet). The locals tell me that this area of Kentucky has a lot of clay, so the water doesn't really soak in - it just pools - so, I'm looking at moving to higher ground if this keeps up. I wonder if my car has
any amphib capability? Which brings me to one of my favourite cinematic water-displacement scenes: Charleton Heston parting the Red Sea. I can't tell you how many times I wish I had that skill set...
And isn't it just the thing that nobody cut Moses any slack after he did that?! Human nature, eh?

No worries - the puzzle pieces disolve in the water (leaving a paper mache residue after the flood subsides). The funny thing is that we have a "severe storm warning" for tonight - is that to say that this morning's weather wasn't severe?! Eee gads.
I have a friend who lives near L.A. and he loves to tell me (especially during the winter) how comfortable the temps are there. -sigh- You guys don't have puzzle pieces falling from the sky? I thought everybody did...
