Re: Midwest flooding
In the picture of the Cedar River, it is indeed what's left of a house.
My wife and the kids were camping just north of Cedar Rapids this past week, with her sister who lives in Cedar Rapids. They spent last night in Cedar Rapids at my sister-in-law's house, which I suppose I should mention was high and dry, (2 blocks from the flood evac zone) before returning home later today. Dani, my wife, who toured the city with her sister related the sad conditions there and just a handful of stories of those who lost so much!
Just an aside here, I generally come to corfid with a light heart... this is where I get some diversion from the stresses and struggles of everyday life. I didn't mean to draw anyone down, I was rather just joking. I suppose I ought to apologize, as that is what's left of someone's Home! But sometimes a bit of leviety helps.
All in all, I was a bit amused at how far off topic we corfidians can get! and with Dani sending me this pic, I thought I'd share it with all of you. I've always been fond of Iowa, and can't hardly imagine what they've had to cope with.
G-man, as George Carlin would say... Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff!!! take care of yourself!
Peace to you all....
