When It Rains, It Pours

And pour it has. All over the place. And snow; what's up with this snow in the middle of May? So yes, all that rain that everyone has been praying for during the past seven years has finally arrived, pouring down on us much like a drench shower for five days out of the week. Saturday and Sunday will come, show some deceptively nice weather, and then the next stormfront in line blows in Sunday night.

The weatherman says to still be frugal in water usage, "cause we're not out of the draught yet." Right, then. So why is there a large wooden boat with lots of zoo animals on it floating down my street?

I also had the lovely experience of buying and installing a sump pump yesterday as our basement attempted to morph into an indoor swimming pool. This is also where I have a high level of buyer satisfaction on that $1400 Rainbow vacuum cleaner we bought 7 years ago... 'cause it sucks up water, which is a good thing when you are re-introducing your carpets to a concept called "dry".
