I thought sure all the rain we’d gotten would make it a coupla hundred miles to the East and hit LUV’s area.
I was wrong.
Connie, did you see where I-10 in Tucson got flooded because the engineers forgot to put in drains in the construction area? The concrete barriers dammed up the highway.

Back...
That was a nice soak.
I think I’ll sleep better tonite.
Yeah it stinks to have to work weekends, period.
I will be the only unit secretary on this weekend, so there will be a lot of computer work and filing and answering phones, but I will not have a motormouth to have to work with!

Glad you had a few minutes to wind down. Soaking sounds
really good right now.
I get really cranky when I work on Sunday and have to miss
