No looting, just communities rolling up their sleeves and getting done and accepting it when they cant.

I have developed a phobia of sorts when our basement wouldnt stop flooding with all the rain this spring. By Saturday, the road through the valley we take to cross the Missouri will be under water. Coldwater Creek, where I saw a grass carp as big as my 9 year old, and a large preserve with trails and river access will be under at least 9 feet of water.

I wish Bush would just leave Mississippi River levees alone!
