Quote:Yeah, that's on MY list for today as well! Though I suspect yours are onsite ... and I have to drive. And if I can get my act together, I have more than enough laundry for 4 trips of multiple loads each. I'll probably only manage 2 trips though.

Yes, it is now on site and I got it done.
However small snag in the baking of birthday cake. Old Frigidaire stove and I can't turn on the oven. So no baking for me today.
Also no lamb chops for my birthday dinner tomorrow. So it is chicken. Well, I can have some popcorn for tomorrow anyways.

SIX: When you see water creeping up to your house, think sandbags.
But it sounds like it all turned out well.

Sure... I thought about it.
No way I could get them though. I don't have a truck, so even if my car wasn't absolutely trapped because of how high the water was on the street, there was no way I was going to be able to bring them to my house. If I even attempted to put my car in the street it would have died instantly once I got off the driveway.
I just got rid of about 10,000 lbs of junk, so there's no way I want to fill my garage with a billion pounds of sand bags just in case this ever happens again.
It's just crazy that anybody who had been sleeping before 10PM or didn't look out their window at all throughout the night would have woken up in the morning completely unaware that this even happened. With no air sirens or loud noises going on during the night, it was just another heavy rainstorm. Zero evidence of the flood when I woke up around 10:30AM or so.
Besides my memories, the only evidence I have that any of this even happened is a super dark video from my front porch with the street light rippling off of water that shouldn't be there.
It makes me wonder if this really is the first time this has happened in the 8 years I've lived here. I'm not here 24/7. And there is 4 or 5 years or so of heavy drinking in between. This might have happened a few times before and I was just one of the lucky oblivious ones.

Not sure how late I'll be up tonight Brenda, so in case I'm not still here at midnight I wanted to be the first to wish you a Happy Birthday.

Got Dracula on. The version from 1931 with Bela Lugosi. Haven't seen it in years. Forgot how cheesy it was.

And I'll be number two ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENDA!
I hope you feel the warm wishes from me all the way up there.
And I have no idea what your favorite colors or themes are - but this looked so cheerful! I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks Kiki.
I do indeed.
Unfortunately, your picture didn't come through. But I'll tell you my favourite colour is blue.

Is that the movie where Bela died in real life and they got somebody like a foot and a half taller to play the rest of the Dracula parts and walk around covering his face with the cloak?
