Uh Oh
Ongoing flooding across portions of northeastern Massachusetts is on pace to break records dating back decades.National Weather Service meteorologist Charlie Foley says flooding for the Merrimack Valley may exceed flooding recorded during the 1938 hurricane.
On September 21st, 1938, a hurricane slammed the coast, killing between 500 and 700 people and washing away hundreds of beach front homes.
In the spring of 1936, heavy rainstorms over a 13-day period caused heavy flooding in New England, causing between 150-and-200 deaths.
Governor Romney calls the flooding a (quote) "level of crisis" beyond anything the affected communities have ever seen in their history.
This sounds about right for my kind of luck.
The lovely 1809 inn we're supposed to be staying at in Salem in 10 days is probably going to be swept out to sea.

Don't worry, their "record flooding" is probably on par with the yearly flooding of the Saint John River that kills millions and millions.....
Pack your slickers!
Is it just me or does the word "slicker" bring to mind condoms?

Giggle giggle!
I'll keep my fingers crossed. But take a dighy and some flares just in case...
Better idea, take a U-haul with all emergency stuff. And wear a life jacket everywhere. So what if people laugh...
She's quite used to the laughing. (as is anyyone who's seen in public with me).
The condom comment makes me feel like a perv while I'm watching Beaker's head rise and fall.
I wonder if there's such a thing as "Muppet porn?"
