Things are starting to get a little sticky here in Iowa... or watery, I guess, would be more appropriate.
This is the Simon Estes Amphitheater in downtown Des Moines. On the left is what it should look like, and on the right is what it currently looks like. Yikes.
For more pictures of the flood thus far (I hear it's supposed to get worse this week), check out Des Moines: It's Kind of a Big Deal. I'm going to try to update as the week progresses, so we'll see what happens!

Ah, weather...
No water in my basement yet, knock on wood. Even though we're so close to the river I think we're uphill enough that we will be okay. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if I could throw a rock into the flood waters from my front yard by the end of the week!
today is my birthday, but i'm going to fill sandbags.
It's like that joke that George Carlin tells about people move to Hawaii thinking it's paradise, build their dream home under the volcano, and wonder why there's lava flowing through their house the next year!
