Tonight I was paddling to the post office and I saw a rabbit sitting in the top of an evergreen shrub that was surronded by water. Not something you see everyday. He looked at me and just kept on muching. Darndest thing. House was under about 3 feet of water.
On my way back with the canoe tonight with the mail, my neighbor Buster (who is also waterlocked) asked if I could give him a lift. Short story short. We ended up upside down - everything soaked, including my Nikon DSLR. Buster is a guide and knows more about canoing than Lewis and Clark. Needless to say, it was my fault. God seems pretty insistant on humbling me these days. If that is the worst that happened out of this, oh well. Everything will dry out. Am spending the night at the store as there are looters around. Glock is loaded.
I was so happy to see jpsb post today. Wonder if he is going to put lipstick on my picture - would be worth it:)
Thanks for all the prayers. Everything that is wet here will dry out. No danger of loss of life. As long as they stay away from my canoe, that is.
God Bless,

Now that is a cool flood story.
Glad you dodged the flood bullet. Insurance may cover that camera if the need arises. If looters outnumber you, throw the Glock at them. When it kabooms, you can take out several squads of bad guys at once...
...or so I hear.
Thank you for sharing. Hope things are getting a little better at least. Is the water level dropping any?
Yowser! Amazing story. Good to hear the river has crested. Sorry to hear about your camera. Hang in there.
You are gutsy ... glad to hear
you’re weathering the challenges.
I thought the water would be
down yesterday. Have been
surprised by the continuing
problems.
Hang in there, and stay safe.
