Hey, hey . . . national news keeps "wringing" the Vermont is Flooding bells on-the-hour. Erm howz things?
Kinda nice. It feels like watching the walls creeping in on the crew of Jedi's after they jumped into the trash compactor . . . only the walls a closing at about four inches an hour. Same trash compactor from 2011 and same Jedi's who are now a dozen years older but no smarter.
You're not under water, tho? Right?
Our apartment didn't get water damaged after Hurricane Irene in 2011, but the basement flooded, the streets flooded, and nobody could travel for days. Clean-up lasted months and years all around the town and state. No way to know if tomorrow or the next week will be worse or better.
What causes it to happen in Vermont of all places?
Mountains. A state of mountains is a state of valleys. Every valley contains a river fed by the creeks and streams coming off the mountains.
Well . . . stay dry!
Will do. Does it sound wrong to say I'm not worried about this in any way? Am I supposed to be expressing alarm or concern or "well wishes" to those around me who are expressing their worry or self-concern? I can't get that pump going in myself, not when I own a pair of boots, a raincoat, and know how to walk or wade to a higher elevation.
Here's my best-opportunity to leave a composite of my own previous images, not because I don't have new images (and videos) but because . . . watching the trash compactor walls creep in at four inches an hour [listen to the downpour which hasn't stopped in days] is kinda not scary at all. Especially not for a Jedi [artist who owns raingear and lives within the shadow of higher elevation].

Thinking of you and yours. We're not doing anything different than you'd be doing if the trash compactor around you was closing at 4"/hr. - having coffee and watching it happen!
