Some parts of S. A. must have gotten hit pretty bad. I went to a gardening event early today in S. A.. Rained all the way there and several hours afterward, then finally stopped. I didn't see the bad flooding, but some traffic signals were out...ever come to a very large city intersection, with no signals, and traffic pretty much reverts to a 4-way stop kind of pattern? It's pretty bizarre! Out here, we've had maybe 1.6" over the last couple of days. I don't envy them the flood damage, but oh man, if only some genius could figure out how to spread rain out more, there'd be less flooding. I got rid of some of my plants today, but being unwilling to drive in the heavy rain again, I stayed too long and came home with some new plants. That's not how it was supposed to work!
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
