Flood of 2008

I’m in shock. We’ve had a rash of bad storms and now a good portion of the town is under water. This photo is via the Globe Gazette.

Go here to see more photos. Derek and I have been extremely lucky. People were evacuated from their houses just a block or two from our place. So far there’s only a little bit of water in the basement. We were curious how a neighborhood fared where we almost bought a house last month, and it’s totally submerged. Wow. Just…wow. Thank goodness it didn’t work out. Right now, the entire city doesn’t have water for drinking, sinks or toilets. The water treatment plant is in a pretty low-lying area that was hit hard. I’ll post updates when more info is available.

• What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany’s at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No. I go for the chandelier; it’s priceless. As I’m taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I love the cold. Thirty years later I get a postcard. I have a son. And he’s the Chief of Police. This is where the story gets interesting: I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care. I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the chandelier.

• I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.
