“... stuff happens ...”

That was a pretty cold comment, Tom.
I was 10 years old when I was flooded out of my house,
and I still vividly remember it 55 years later.
There ain’t a damn thing funny about it.

He is quoting Moonbeam Brown, who ironically enough was pilloried in a book written ages ago about the exact same sort of dam "failures" we are seeing today.

He was just quoting what our compassionate governor Jerry “Moonbeam” “Moron” “Choo-Choo” Brown said about our flood risk problems last weekend.

Yeah. My mother told me the story how her family during the great Ohio flood (1934? 1937?). Her dad had to move the livestock to high ground and while he was doing that the waters continued to rise. He came back with a boat and rescued them off of the roof of their house. I believe her house was some 20 miles from the river bank. Epic.

Well “stuff” does happen. You are not the only one who has ever gone through a disaster.

Hey, I was just expressing the official policy of the Governor of California. You better take it up with him.
