Excerpt from "Midwest copes with floods, East warned of heat" By JIM IRWIN, Associated Press Writer June 9, 2008
The Midwest storms triggered horrible memories for residents of western Wisconsin still recovering from flash flooding last August that carried entire houses onto highways, washed out roads and forced many to flee in the middle of the night.

[The above picture, taken in Racine, WI, is a good representation of what the drains in my basement looked like yesterday afternoon. Only imagine the water mixed with city sewage. Makes it all the sweeter!]

My horses are high on a hill (with a good barn) in Sun Prairie, unlike these unlucky equines in Racine, WI.
I'm busy. Go entertain yourselves for a while.
